Georgia O'Keefe Inspired Flowers
Fifth Grade students looked at flowers painted by Georgia O'Keefe. We discussed why her flowers are special. After all, many people have painted flowers, they aren't a new subject matter. Students noticed that she "zoomed in" closely to the flowers and sometimes this meant that you can't tell her painting is of a flower. Then students painted their own flower, and then added lines to create a flower that has never been made before. Students traced the organic lines made by the water color paint when it dried. Students discussed painting an ordinary subject such as a flower, in a new way to make it more interesting to look at.
