Keith Haring: The Boy Who Just Kept Drawing By Kay A. Haring

There was a boy named Keith. When he was little, his father taught him how to draw dogs and fish and funny things. His dad would draw a line. Then Keith would draw one. Soon, the whole page would be full. From that time on, Keith never stopped drawing. In elementary school, while taking tests, Keith doodled on the edge of his paper. When he handed in this work, his teachers would ask, “WHY did you doodle on this important paper?” Keith didn’t answer. He went back to his desk and just kept drawing. Sometimes Keith invited his friends to draw in his backyard clubhouse. Keith made symbols and said each one represented a letter of the alphabet. His friends asked, “ WHY do you use symbols to write?” Keith drew more symbols. It was his way of answering their question. He encouraged his friends to join him. As a teenager, Keith liked to draw in his bedroom with music playing LOUD. He would draw on every piece of paper he could find. His mother had to yell over the music, “WHY can’t you turn that music down and go outside to ride your bike?” But Keith had sold his bike to buy art supplies, so he answered, “Look at the cool drawings I did.” And he just kept drawing. When Keith was in high school he won FIRST PRIZE for his art. A successful couple from town offered to buy his drawing. Keith said, “No, thank you. If you enjoy my art, you may hang it on your wall--no charge!” Keith’s sisters were shocked. “WHY didn’t you take the money?” they asked. Keith shrugged. He just wanted to keep drawing. Keith graduated from high school and went to the big city of Pittsburgh to a school that would teach him about art. There were boys on the street trying something new--BREAK DANCING. He liked the crazy shapes of their bodies as they turned and flipped on the ground. While the music played loud, Keith started drawing wiggly lines. His teachers asked him, “WHY are you drawing pictures that look like scrambled bodies? This is not what we told you to draw.” Keith knew how to draw. He just wanted to draw in different ways. And he kept drawing. Keith moved to the HUGE city of New York when he was twenty, so he could draw with other artists. He started to draw all over the city--on walls, on sidewalks, and on paper that he hung on lampposts. His drawings were washed away by the rain or torn down by street cleaners. Other artists asked Keith, “WHY do you draw in places where your pictures are erased?” Keith didn’t hear them. He was searching for another wall so he could keep drawing. Keith got a job delivering packages and sometimes rode the subway. One day, he saw a panel of black paper on the wall in a station. He rushed outside to buy chalk and came back and began to draw. The white chalk made bright, smooth lines on the black paper. Day after day, Keith filled the empty panels in the subway stations with art. Soon people who rode the subway were looking for the white chalk drawings. No one knew the name of the artist, but his drawings were easy to recognize. People asked him, “WHY are you drawing here? What do your pictures mean?” Keith said, “What do you see? You decide what they mean.” Where Keith lived there was trash on the street and people didn’t always say hello to each other. One day, he and his friends cleaned up twenty bads of garbage in front of a long wall. Then Keith painted square faces with smiles and body shapes dancing upside down. The neighbors liked the drawings and stopped to say thank-you. A policeman came by and lectured Keith. “WHY did you do this? I have to give you a ticket because you didn’t get permission.” Keith paid the fine and just kept drawing. Soon people wanted to see more of Keith’s drawings, and he was asked to display his work in an art gallery. Art was hung from floor to ceiling, and in between he painted on the walls. Keith invited everyone to come and enjoy his work. All of Keith’s artwork SOLD. The gallery owner asked him, “What are you going to do with all this money?” Keith said, “I read in the newspaper that there are kids who don’t have enough to eat. I didn’t have this money yesterday and I was happy. If I don’t have it tomorrow, I’ll still be happy. All children need to eat. I’ll send the money to them.” The gallery owner gasped, “WHY?” Keith just smiled and started to draw again. Now people were inviting Keith to draw in famous museums and exhibit in galleries all over the world. He was proud that he had become a successful artist. But wherever he went, Keith insisted he paint a mural so EVERYONE could enjoy his work--not just the people who had money to buy it. During a visit to Paris, France, Keith painted on the outside of a children’s hospital--six stories high. Newspaper reporters came to take pictures and asked, “WHY did you paint the hospital? Do you think it will make the sick children feel better?” Keith didn’t have time to answer. He had to finish the painting. When the Statue of Liberty was 100 years old, Keith drew an outline of the famous statue on a huge piece of vinyl fabric. Then he asked 900 kids to help him finish the painting. Keith told them, “Draw anything. Whatever you want. No one can say it’s bad or good. It’s yours.” When the giant painting was displayed, people were amazed to see what Keith and the kids had made. But the art critics couldn’t understand WHY a famous artist was drawing with kids. But you know Keith...He just kept drawing. Keith painted all over the world. He would draw on anything, anytime, anywhere. Wherever he went and whatever he did--he would not stop. He just kept drawing. Now everyone wanted to know...and together they shouted...WHY???? WHY do you draw all the time? WHY do you give your artwork away? WHY do you draw on buildings, on people, on clothing, on furniture, on subway walls, on cars, on skateboards, on walls that belong to no one, and on things to be thrown away? WHY do you draw on EVERYTHING?” Keith stopped drawing, just for a moment, and answered: “I draw all the time because there are many spaces to fill. I give my drawings away to help make the world a better place. I draw everywhere because EVERYONE needs art!!” Then Keith turned back to the street, took a piece of chalk from his pocket...and just kept drawing.

Element of Art: Line In art, a ​line ​can be defined as “a dot on the move.” Lines have a big impact on art--different lines can create a sense of movement and drama, or they can be relaxing and still. Lines were very important to Keith Haring’s art. Practice some of the basic line techniques below:

Sport climbing reaches the Summer Olympics

By Washington Post, adapted by Newsela staff on 01.10.20 Word Count 431 Level 560L

Image 1. Akiyo Noguchi of Japan during a competition on August 20, 2019, in achioji, Japan. This is called lead climbing, where a climber uses a rope and sees how high they can climb. Noguchi also does another kind of climbing, called bouldering. With bouldering, a climber doesn't use a rope. Photo: Toru Hanai/Getty Images

In 2020, the Olympics will be held. The Summer Games will take place in Tokyo, Japan. They go from July 24 to August 9.

There will be five new sports at the Olympics. They are karate, skateboarding, climbing, surfing and baseball/softball.

It is hard to think about surfing when it is winter. Climbing is an indoor sport, though. Athletes climb walls full of fake rocks they can grab.

There will be three types of climbing in the Summer Olympics. In speed climbing, two athletes race up a wall that is 15 meters tall (almost 50 feet). Do not worry! They have ropes that keep them from falling.

Another climbing event is called bouldering. In it, the athletes move across paths on lower walls. The third event is lead climbing. It is when athletes try to see how high they can climb a course in six minutes. They also have ropes for safety.

Speed Climbing Will Get Attention

Nick Gava works at the Earth Treks climbing center in Arlington, Virginia. He thinks the speed climbing will get the most attention in the Olympics. It is like running up, he said. The Olympics will make people notice climbing. Most climbers will not get to the Olympics, though. Gava said climbers enjoy different parts of climbing.

Climbing is a great way to deal with problems, Gava said. It needs "complete focus," he said. You can't worry about other things when you are climbing.

The sport also helps people face their fears. They learn to trust others. In most climbs, the climber is working with someone else. The other person has the end of the safety rope.

Gava said, "Climbing can create good people."

The Climbing Community Is Friendly

That includes kids. David Rosman goes to Washington-Liberty High School in Arlington. He has been climbing for three years.

David is 14 years old. At the Maryland Renaissance Festival, he learned about climbing. He spent much of the day on a climbing wall there. Then he found Earth Treks near his home, and soon he was a regular visitor there.

David said he enjoys the climbing community.

He has made good friends through climbing, he said. "Climbers are friendly," he said.

David is excited that climbing will be in the Olympics.

"Some kids say it's not a sport," he said. He has tried many sports. They are not as hard as climbing, he said. He likes that it is hard, he said.

A. Writing and Evaluating Expressions with Variables Study the example showing how to write and evaluate expressions with variables. (In the example, ​r​ stands for the number of runners on last year’s team.)

Solve:

B. Properties of Operations

Check some of your work from Parts A and B. Some answers for ​Part A​: ​1.​ 4​r ​ + 6 represents the number of runners on the team this year. ​2.​ Yes, dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by ½ . ​3.​ Twenty-one (show how you got the answer). Some answers for ​Part B​: ​4​. ​b ​is the common factor. ​5​. Factor out the common factor, ​b​. That gives you the expression ​b(2​ + 5) = 7​b​. How are you doing?

C. Properties and Equivalent Expressions Study the example showing how to use properties of operations to write equivalent expressions with variables. Then solve the problems.

D. Determine Whether Expressions are Equivalent Study the example that shows one way.

Remember: 2​ Like terms ​ have the same variable raised to the same power. (3x and 4x are like terms. 3​x​ and 4​x​ are not like terms. Practice:______and ______are like terms.

______and ______are ​not​ like terms.Look back at the sample on the last page.

Hint: To use substitution, choose a number to use for s and then evaluate the expressions. (Don’t 2​ forget to square the same number to get s​ .

Check some of your answers from parts C and D. Part C: ​2. The simplified expression is 20 + 4​x​. 3. The factors are 4 and (5 + ​x​). 2​ • • • Part D: ​4. 2​s​ + 3​s​ = (2 x)​ + (3 s s)​ = ​s​(2 + 3​s​)

E. Equivalent Expressions Solve the Problems.

F. Reflection: Why is it helpful to know how to use the distributive property to write equivalent expressions?

G. Extension questions (not required): Try this one without substitution. Think about the relationships between the numbers in the expressions.

The Aztec Empire: The Last Great Native Civilization in Mesoamerica By History.com, adapted by Newsela staff on 08.21.17 Word Count ​505 ​Level ​540

The Aztecs lived in northern Mexico. They were a tribe that moved from place to place. Around A.D. 1200 they arrived in Mesoamerica. This was between central Mexico and northern Costa Rica. The Aztecs controlled many city-states in Mesoamerica. They built a powerful empire.

Many believe the Aztecs came from Aztlan. That means "White Land." They hunted and ate wild plants. The Aztecs were also known as the Mexica and also the Tenochca. In 1325, they built their first great city, called Tenochtitlán. It was named for them.

When the Aztecs saw an eagle sitting on a cactus near a lake, they thought it was a sign to build their city there. First, they dried out the swampy land. Then they built the great city of Tenochtitlán there. Their farms grew crops of corn, beans, squash, potatoes, tomatoes and avocados. They also fished and hunted. They put together a large army and grew strong.

In 1428, the Aztec leader was Itzcoatl. His army joined with armies from the Texcocans and Tacubans tribes. Together they defeated the Tepanec tribe. In 1440, Itzcoatl died. Montezuma I (also spelled Moctezuma) became the new leader. Soon the Aztecs ruled over 500 small states. They had 5 to 6 million people. Tenochtitlán became the largest city in Mesoamerica.

More than 50,000 people shopped in Tenochtitlán on days when markets were open. This helped the Aztecs become rich. Nobles were the richest. The poor people were serfs, who worked on farms, and servants and slaves. The Aztec religion was like others in Mesoamerica. They prayed to Quetzalcoatl, a feathered serpent god. They built great temples, palaces and statues to their gods. The Aztecs watched the movement of the sun. They made a calendar with 365 days.

Between 1517 and 1519, Spain sent men to take over Mesoamerica. One of the men was Hernan Cortes. Montezuma II was now the ruler of the Aztecs. Cortes trained his army of Spaniards. He and 400 Spanish soldiers went to Mesoamerica. There he found a native woman who could speak Spanish and the Aztec language. She helped Cortes speak to other native people living in that part of Mexico. He found out they did not like the Aztecs. So Cortes along with these other tribes made a plan to defeat Montezuma II.

In 1519, Cortes and his men arrived in Tenochtitlan. Montezuma and his people thought Cortes looked like the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl. So the Aztec people were friendly, but Cortes and his men attacked. The Aztecs lost. Montezuma was arrested and died in prison. His young nephew tried to fight back. But he was defeated in a battle in 1521.

This ended Aztec control of Mesoamerica. After his victory, Cortes burned Tenochtitlan. Mexico City was built in its place. It became the most important city of the Spanish in Mexico.
