Georgia O-Keeffe Flowers

Today we had a guest from Room 11.  She came to teach us how to draw flowers like Georgia O-Keeffe.

First we watched a video that showed some of Georgia O-Keeffe's paintings and it had beautiful music. You can watch it here.


She showed us how to make big flowers with petals going right off the page!


First we sketched our flowers lightly with pencils. Then we used chalk to go over the lines and a tissue to smear the colour around.


Here's a little peak of how they turned out.

Have you ever used coloured chalk on paper?

Dear Kindergarten friends,
We love your flowers! They are impressive. We just studied Georgia O'Keeffe too! Your flowers look different than ours. You used chalk and we used watercolour markers. Our flower petals go right off our page too. We will post pictures of our flowers later today. Would you like to see them?

Can you show us a picture of them? We would love to see your flowers! That's awesome that you tried to do what we did! Thanks for the compliment!
