Art can tell stories. |
What story do the homeless tell? The following pages are for Fourth and Fifth Grades. There are pages for my K-3rd as well. These pages will be used to "get to know the artist", Keith Haring. Fourth and Fifth grades will use the art of Keith Haring to tell their story of the Homeless after seeing the film and art by the homeless. What can the students do to help with this issue?
