2nd Grade Art

The second graders created close-up flower designs inspired by the artwork of Georgia O’Keeffe. Students began by cutting a 12x12 inch paper into a large flower shape and then cut progressively smaller stencils which they used to create the flower petal shapes by brushing pastel from the stencils onto their flower. One of America’s most famous artists, O’Keeffe loved to paint large close-ups of flowers, mountains, seashells, and even cow skulls that she discovered in the desert.
