I began class by reading "Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists: Georgia O'Keefe". We then looked at different pieces of art that she did. The most memorable paintings of hers to 2nd graders are her flowers. We also discussed how the flowers just seem to pop with color and appear to extend off the edges of the page! The students then drew their own flower using using the same extension technique. They painted their flower and I encouraged them to mix colors. After the paint dried, they used an oil pastel to outline their flower and make it "pop".
