With all that being said, one of our organized projects was inspired by 80's pop artist Keith Haring. We looked at several pieces of his artwork:

I also showed them how to draw the figures in his style. We started with the head, then neck, arms, torso, legs. There are MANY Haring art projects for kids out there in the blogosphere. I showed the girls a few different projects. And they were most inspired by this image on Artsonia.
My 8 year old LOVED this project! My six year old I think was a bit overwhelmed at the thought of all the lines she might have to draw so she just filled hers in with shapes. :-)
First, they drew three figures with pencil, then started outlining with marker.
My 8 year old decided to use warm colors for the people and cool colors for their motion lines.
My six year old just colored however she wanted. ;-)
And here are their finished Keith Haring projects:
I LOVE how they turned out!
They turned out great! I love Keith Haring's work, it always makes me feel like dancing :)
