Stop and Smell the Roses!-Assignment 8-Option 2

-
Recommended for any grade level

Objectives:

To know and describe who the artist Georgia O'Keefe was and what kind of artwork she was known for by watching a short video.

Create a flower-inspired work of art by taking photographs of flowers in your yard and around the neighborhood to use as inspiration.  (The artwork could also just be the photographs that you take.)

Hello Artists!

   This school year is slowly coming to a close. I want you all to know that I am planning on posting various project ideas, art-related videos, and updates through-out the summer.  I will check my email through-out the summer too, so if you want to send me a picture, video, or anything else that is related to art, you will be able to reach me.
   Around five years ago, my husband and I took a weekend to go to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  If you haven't been then you need to go!  We ate delicious food, went to various art galleries and markets, went on a few hikes, and visited the Georgia O'Keefe museum. I will never forget that trip, and we have been trying to get back there ever since. Here is the website for the Georgia O'Keefe museum in Santa Fe, NM. https://www.okeeffemuseum.org/  This website also has a creativity page for kids.  Here is the link: https://www.okeeffemuseum.org/creative-activities/ Here is a short clip about her below, and some pictures of her flower paintings of which she was known for.









Here is an optional children's book to watch about Georgia O'Keefe


The following are pictures I have taken of flowers that I thought were exceptionally beautiful. I want you to do the same. After you have taken some pictures, then I want you to use the pictures as inspiration to create a piece of artwork with one or more flowers with media of your choice. Remember that media means materials....so crayons, oil pastels, paint etc.



 
 

  There are a couple of different demonstrative videos below on painting flowers if interested.

Accountability and Grading

Hey Everyone,      Just in case you didn't get the email..... We had a team meeting yesterday and were told that we need to find a way to collect work by students whether it is in the form of a log or a picture.  I have decided that google photos would be the best platform for me to use for each individual class.  I said before that it was not required to upload pictures, but after speaking with my team and admin., I am making it a requirement to upload a photo of what kids have been working on whether it is the actual assignment or an alternative assignment.  This will also be a way for kids to see each other’s work.  The 3-5 th grade kids can upload pics on their own, or a parent can do it. Along with a picture of the work, they need to have the child’s name written on a piece of paper next to the work or on the work, so that I know whose it is. I would also like them to write assignment 1, 2 etc. next to their name. I would like at least one picture a week starting next
