Second Graders learned about Georgia O'Keeffe and observed and discussed several of her large flower paintings. We talked about why an artist would supersize something, and the students pointed out that this made the flowers more noticeable and detailed.

For our connecting project, second graders created "Georgia O'Leaf's"! First, they layered light-colored oil pastel. Then, they created additional layers of darker colors. They used a wooden stick to carve lines through the layers for the leaf veins, and this revealed the colors underneath. Finally, they created colorful backgrounds with watercolor.
