white and red prismacolor pencils on black paper; 15×20″
“Under the guidance of art teacher Matt Reed, stdents grades 9 to 12 at Princeton HS studied the work of Keith Haring, an artist known for using simple cartoons to communicate with the viewer. They drew something with a positive message or to address a social issue. They used white and red colored pencils on black paper, similar to the color scheme in some of Haring’s pieces. The project gave them a better understanding of how art can be used as a vehicle for personal or political expression.”
