5th graders learned about the life and work of artist Georgia O'Keeffe. We focused on her use of emphasis, balance, and unity. Students incorporated their knowledge of value and blending to create a Georgia O'Keefe inspired pastel project. They used both oil pastels and chalk pastels. I used a short presentation to introduce O'Keeffe and the key vocabulary You can find my presentation here. We spent about 3 class period on the actual art making process. They turned out beautiful and I had many students asking to come in to finish up during recess. It was great to see how much pride and motivation the kids showed for this assignment!
