2nd grade Georgia O'Keefe flowers

To create these beautiful Georgia O'keeffe-inspired drawings, students began by observing (artificial) flowers and doing large pencil drawings on 12" x 18" paper so that the image filled the whole page.  Before beginning, we looked at images of O'keeffe's amazing artwork and reflected on her quote "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for."

The next step was to use acrylic paint to paint the background space of the work.  This was inspired by O'keefe's style of painting her backgrounds very simply and often just one color.  

​Students used oil pastels to color the flowers and outlined with black.  
This project took just two class periods and was very successful.  A great end-of-year project!
