Georgia O'Keeffe Lesson

Age: K-3
Supplies: Paper, Oil Pastels

This was an easy project (no prep and minimal clean up!) with fantastic results.  First we talked about the artist Georgia O'Keeffe and looked at pictures of her flower artwork (I printed these from the Internet).

The only rules for the project were as follows:

1.  They had to draw a HUGE flower with petals that touched the edges of the paper.

2.  The could color and design the flower any way they wanted, but the background color was to be one solid color.

(I love this one.  The student told me it was a venus fly trap).



We used black paper and oil pastels.  I think it would also look great on white paper with colored pencil flowers and watercolor background.
