Georgia O'Keefe Project

Painting Class



Now that we have studied the life and times of Georgia O'Keefe it is time to paint in her style!
Go to http://thehelpfulartteacher.blogspot.com/2014/03/looking-at-flowers-through-eyes-of.html
Here you will find images of Georgia's work, and some great flower reference pictures.  This art teacher's blog is so thorough I didn't feel the need create a new post on my blog.
Look through the artwork, find a reference photo and watch the how-to videos.
Remember O'keefe was also famous for stark desert landscapes and sun dried animal bones.  If you do not wish to create a flower painting you may find a reference on google of one of the above mentioned subjects.  Now let's get started!!

*By the end of class you should have 2 reference photos printed off- one in color and one in grayscale.

*Tomorrow we will be sketching so make sure to bring your sketchbook, pencil, and eraser!!!

*Here is an example of last year's class work.
