4th Grade students spent about 2 weeks learning about the artist Georgia O'Keeffe! We started by taking a look at all of her nature inspired artwork. Students learned that Georgia O'Keeffe was an American artist who was inspired by some of the places she lived.
As a class, we discussed how Georgia O'Keeffe became known for zooming in on the subject matter in her paintings. 4th Graders noticed that some of the natural objects she painted even looked abstract!
When it was time to start our own works of art we briefly discussed analogous color schemes and how to use them in our own art. We took a look at some more works by O'Keeffe that focused on leaves, which was something very apparent in our own environment!
4th Graders got to work using chalk pastels to create their own Georgia O'Keeffe inspired leaf artwork, and here are some of the results!
