A Closer Look: Georgia O’Keefe

Spring has sprung and out come all the beautiful flowers!  Students will learn about the artist Georgia O’ Keefe and her work, particularly her flowers that are painted from an up close and personal look.  Teachers will read “Through Georgia’s Eyes” to introduce students to this important artist and her style of work.  Emphasizing the idea of looking closer at details of an image, students will use magnifying glasses or a closer look of flowers or objects to draw and paint their image in the style of O’Keefe.
