Inspired by American artists Georgia O'Keeffe, second grade artists are creating their own version of a flower. First, we looked at many of O'Keeffe's paintings. Students practiced drawing flowers close up, then picked their best drawing to create into a painting. We discussed how to create intermediate colors by mixing a primary color with a secondary color, and created our own color wheels with the six intermediate colors. Students chose one intermediate color to mix for their large petals.
