Studies Georgia O’Keeffe

 Georgia O'Keeffe was most well known for her paintings of flowers close up.  Our 1st Grade artists  looked at her "Red Poppies" to create their own art inspired by the artists' work.

Students used liquid tempera paint to create the rich colors of their flowers.

Once the paint was dry our Farmingville artists created backgrounds and the center of the flower with construction paper and tempera paint sticks. They then collaged all the elements together.

Here's a look at some of the finished pieces...

Studies Georgia O’Keefe

 While Georgia O'Keeffe was most well known for her paintings of flowers close up, the artist painted many other types of subjects as well. Our Kindergarten artists looked at her shell paintings to create their own art inspired by that of the artist. 

Our youngest artists began by creating shells with oil pastels and tempera cakes. 

They then created monoprints for their backgrounds on top of crayon rubbings. 

When their print was dry they outlined each shape with oil pastels. Students then cut their shells out and glued them to their backgrounds.
