Warm vs. Cool: A Lesson in Keith Haring

This week, we learned about warm and cool colors in the middle school class; this was a continuation of a color wheel lesson we began last fall.   

We also learned about the artist Keith Haring–I chose Haring because this class previously expressed interest in street art. We took this opportunity identify the warm and cool colors in his pieces and their effect on the viewer.

After the lesson, we got to make our pieces inspired by the bold colors and simple composition of Keith Haring’s artwork. Check out these creative drawings!
