Week #2 Georgia O'Keeffe Flower Painting and More

Painting Inspiration: Georgia O'Keeffe's Poppy 
   After learning a little about the enlarged paintings Georgia painting, we started our own:

Artist at Work: We began with a shape in the center of the flower,

 then moved to the petals, then the background.

Where are the rest of the flower paintings?? Sorry Busy afternoon.....I missed a lot!   After students completed their Georgia O'Keeffe Enlarged Flowers they listened to the book  Leonardo and the Flying Boy by Laurence Anholt. Next, we used construction paper to cut and glue our own animal invention.
