Keith Haring Like Drawing


MEDIA:MIXED PENCILS,COLORED MARKERS

There are many types of global and local issues that came to mind while doing this assignment. With a lot of help and inspiration from Keith Haring, I focused my work towards the local and global issue of gambling. With Haring's style, I created an image of two people separated by a barrier one being somewhat successful and one actually losing money as well as their love ones due to gambling. The reason why I chose this type of imagery is because in my point of view, gambling doesn't really help anyone. Even if they are lucky and successful, they still lose what they actually spend. Not only does gambling hurt people money wise, love ones can also be affected as well. With color, I represented blue for happiness and red for failure. The person highlighted in blue is ecstatic for winning perhaps a dice roll. The other person colored in red suffers the consequences and represents failure. I mixed a combination of red and black to create fire which represents punishment and consequence. As far as content goes, I believe that gambling is something that people should consider limiting themselves in. Do not gamble too much unless you know what you are in for in the future.
