Personal Symbols & Paint

A Creative Evening Inspired by Keith Haring’s Art

Unlock the power of simple symbols and express yourself in a creative setting. We'll dive into the vibrant world of Keith Haring, exploring how he used hearts, crowns, flowers, radiant babies, dancing figures, barking dogs, angel wings, and more to create art that's both playful and meaningful.

With a perfect mix of guidance and freedom, you'll create a piece that's uniquely yours, using personal symbols. I'll guide you through drawing your composition and mixing acrylic paints to achieve the perfect colors for your artwork. Sip your favorite drink, connect with others, and let your creativity flow. It's about having fun and making something truly personal!
