Georgia O'Keeffe Flower Studies



Jakyla, Grade 2

Ella, Grade 1

Bryan, Grade 2

Keshawn, Grade 2

Briana, Grade 2


Isaac and Laura, Grade 2



Olivia, Grade 1
The students in first and second grade have been learning about Georgia O'Keeffe.  They learned about her life and her love of nature.  They practiced looking at things closely like she was known to do.  In their first pastel project, they drew their own large-scale flowers inspired by real flowers.  They practiced mixing and layering colors, and they located lines, shapes and colors in their compositions.  Their artwork shows careful observation rather than drawing the typical first grade flower from memory.  I have decorated the art room with their colorful work.
