2nd Grade Georgia O'Keeffe Flower Paintings

Students are learning about the American artist Georgia O'Keeffe. We read a book about her life, and looked at many of her paintings, especially her flower paintings.
We also talked about the intermediate colors, which are created when a primary color and a secondary color are mixed together. We practiced drawing flowers by looking at photos of flowers as well as reproductions of O'Keeffe's flower paintings. Then students practiced mixing intermediate colors with crayons first, then created their own color wheels with paint.

Students drew technical drawings of flowers as well, labeling the different parts of the flower: stem, leaf, sepal, pistil, stamen, stigma, and petal.

Last, we began painting our own flower paintings, after choosing our best drawings and our favorite intermediate color for the large petals.

Fourth Grade Clay Masks

Students are adding texture, pattern, shapes, and lines to their clay masks. The needle tool is the main tool used, but students are also using plastic modeling tools to stamp textures. Look closely at some of their intricate designs!

Third Grade Laurel Burch Cats

Third Graders are working on their Laurel Burch cat drawings. After waiting for glue lines to dry, students worked on picking complementary colors and planning out where to place the colors on their cats. Here students are adding the colors using oil pastels.

Fourth Grade Rain Forest Drawings

Fourth Graders looked at Henri Rousseau's Jungle paintings for inspiration, as well as photos and books about rain forests all over the world. We discussed how plants in the rain forests are fighting for sunlight, and how there is very little open space in the jungle. Students could choose one or two animals to place in their drawings as well. In these photos, students are adding color to their drawings.
