How can movement be translated into art-making? 

Keith Haring and Romero Britto create art that makes us think of happy moments in our lives. Decatur students discussed how these artists develop lines that suggest movement and what they felt about the work.  The students were then given large sheets of paper and black paint to illustrate the beauty of mark-making. The students discussed how each artist applies line, color, and pattern to represent their ideas and aesthetics.   Finally, the students selected where to use color, patterns, and glitter to complete their own paintings.
