O'Keefe inspired Butterflies

Third Grade students looked at artwork by Georgia O'Keefe and read various books about her life. In one book, "My Name is Georgia" by Jeanette Winter, students discovered that Georgia O'Keefe created large artworks of small things like flowers, partly because she wanted people to see things the way she saw them. Students then drew and colored another small thing; butterflies. Students looked carefully at a picture of a butterfly and tried to capture as many details as they could. They colored their butterflies with chalk pastel.
