Flowers by Our Little O'Keeffes

After a short art walk through our hallway "galleries", the  girls wanted to know if we were ever going to learn about a female artist.  Good question!  The very next artist we introduced was Georgia O'Keeffe with her large, abstract flowers.  Each child chose a flower to paint and then examined their flowers under the magnifying glass to see the many shades of color each one contained. We talked about warm and cool colors and how Georgia O'Keeffe used both in her paintings. As they studied their flowers, the paint brushes flowed and our gallery of flowers came alive!
