Easy Pop Art Project Tutorial and Coloring Page
Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for an Easy Pop Art Project and Coloring Page.
Keith Haring Drawings
This pop art project is designed to help young artists draw in the simple style that Keith Haring developed as a pop artist of the 1980’s. He was famous for a style of bold figures with bright colors, and radiating lines coming from them. This tutorial will show students how to create their own version of one of his famous paintings. It depicts two figures sharing a hug.
Growing up, Keith Haring wasn’t interested in the kind of formal art he saw in museums, he thought it was too boring. He was more interested in cartoons, like the kind that Disney created. He spent hours drawing them with his dad, who also drew as a hobby.
