Second Graders and Georgia O'Keeffe Flowers

Second Graders have been learning about Georgia O'Keeffe and her large flower paintings. First, we drew technical drawings where we labeled the different parts of flowers (learning some science with our art!). Then we looked at O'Keeffe's flower paintings and read a story about her life. We wrote notes about some interesting things Georgia did, including the fact that she taught art in Texas! Then we started our flower drawings, which you can see us working on. Next, we will be learning how to mix intermediate colors, and finally we will start our own flower paintings.
