Grade 3 artists began this project by learning about Georgia O’Keeffe, her life and artworks. Next they drew a modern/abstract landscape (sky, mountains and hills) inspired by her painting Anything, 1916, with black oil pastels.
Then we discussed the difference between warm and cool colours and played a sorting game to ensure the students comprehension.
Following the game, students chose whether their artwork would be a day (warm sky and cool land) or night (cool sky and warm land) scene. They used chalk pastels, blending with their fingers and finished by re-tracing the borders with black oil pastel.
Students also wrote and recorded reflections on their work.
The art produced with your guidance at the OJCS is outstanding! Each grade is creating and learning so much ! What an excellent showcase to see on the Blog!
