O'Keeffe: Fall leaves

First graders looked at the leaf and flower art of Georgia O'Keeffe, noting the large size and close-up point of view. Although many artists draw and paint flowers, Georgia found a way to make hers unique. We drew from an assortment of artificial fall flowers and leaves, filling the space, and used blended crayons to create the glow of color found in O'Keeffe's work. Black and brown watercolor in the background made the color pop.
