Georgia o'keeffe painting project
The 2nd grade students learned about artist Georgia O'Keeffe and her flower paintings. We talked about about how her flowers were drawn in such a way that they took up almost the whole paper and used the grid drawing method to draw the contour lines of the flower before adding crayon resist and painting. Students also used layered warm and cool colors (or cool and warm colors) to create contrast throughout their picture.
