School Wide Artist Study: Georgia O'Keeffe

American painter Georgia O'Keeffe was most famous for her large format flower paintings. Known for her unique artistic vision, she painted throughout most of the 20th century. In Art with Mrs. Penney our Farmingville art students looked at various works created by the artist. 

While she was most well known for her flowers, the artist explored many other types of subject matter as well. O'Keeffe would often go for walks and hikes, picking up small tokens of nature along the way like leaves, shells and animal bones and take them back to her studio to paint. 

Each grade level will be focusing in on one of O'Keefe's favorite finds and create artwork inspired by the artists’ work. 

Here is a sneak peek...
