Red, White, & Blue by Georgia O’Keefe
By Georgia O’Keefe
Love this project inspired by one of my all time favorite women artists, Georgia O’ Keefe.
I started out leading the kids in a guided drawing using the document camera. We got the basic ORGANIC shape and then they used charcoal and chalk to add value and color.

My beginning art classes are called Creative Art. They recently did a project that was inspired by the pointillism of Georges Seurat. The millions of little dots he painted with have always fascinated me. Here is a link that will give more information on the artist.
And you can see one of his more famous works here….

I have a few of their works in progress and will post the finished ones later on. They were given a suggestion to do something from nature but I told them they were free to choose any subject, therefore we got the occasional cartoon character. I really do not mind that when they work really hard as most of them did. I have several of these hanging in the hall in front of the art room.
Portraits were done by senior painting students using the grid method for drawing and then painted with a value scale in blacks, grays, and whites.
The kids in my ARTS AND HUMANITIES class completed these cave art drawings back in January. They did a great job on them and I have been meaning to post pictures. We use charcoal and chalk in Earthy colors. They looked at the examples from the caves of Lascaux in France. I had them hanging on display in the room for awhile. We got some positive feedback on them.:)
