Georgia O'Keeffe is famous for her extreme close-ups of flowers and objects. 1st graders used silk flowers, objects, and pictures to explore warm and cool colors, shapes, and textures.

O'Keeffe was a master of abstacted and abstract imagery. Her artwork expressed her passions and feelings, captured in the smooth curves and strong lines. 1st graders love creating abstract artwork to express their feelings! I really enjoy being part of the process of their charming and beautiful abstract masterpieces!

O'Keeffe was also a woman who loved the landscapes that surrounded her. She created incredible paintings of these spaces. Many first graders love creating landscapes, and seeing O'Keeffe's expressive examples is inspirational.

1st graders analyze and identify landscapes of Grant Wood, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Aeravi Link (yours truly) based on style. They're quite good at it, actually!
