Georgia O'Keefe Flower Drawings

Kindergartners were introduced to their 1st artist, Georgia O'Keefe. O'Keefe is a 20th century American painter and is best known for her flower canvases and southwestern landscapes.

Kindergarten students learned how to draw a large scale flower and did their drawing on top of their tissue paper collage from last week. Since the children used water instead of glue to adhere the tissue paper, the tissue fell off and left their big paper bright, colorful and fun! This project will be their art for Art to Remember. This year, ordering for Art to Remember will be different. Please stay tuned later this month for instructions and look for a letter to come home with your child! (The funds I receive from Art to Remember orders help me buy special materials for the art room that my budget does not allow-scratch art paper, special paints, etc. It also allows me to create large scale murals with the students-the adhesives, plywood, installation costs)
