Georgia O'Keeffe flowers in 4th grade

 Georgia O'Keeffe flowers in 4th grade

We started off the lesson by viewing the many examples of Georgia O'Keeffe's flowers. I found a great video on YouTube for kids about her career and life to show the kids as well. 

Students were provided with various examples of flowers to choose from for their drawings. They could draw the whole flower or just part of it. I made viewfinders that they could use to help them pick and draw which section they wanted to use. 

Students sketched out their designs, colored them with oil pastels, and then painted the background with watercolors. I was surprised by how they enjoyed this lesson, and they are beautiful!
