Procedure
After showing images of Keith Haring’s work, discuss how music played a role in his painting process.
Step 1
Have one person from each family volunteer to stand up. Place some music in the stereo and ask each volunteer to dance while the music is on and then freeze in position when it is turned off. The volunteer remains frozen for the other family members to draw from different perspectives. Rotate volunteers and repeat. Do this a few times until each person has a few drawings to work from, and has had the opportunity to dance.
Step 2
Working from their favorite drawing, ask each person to form their drawing in wire. As the wire sculptures develop, introduce other materials to accentuate movement, color, and line.
