Georgia O'Keeffe

These last two weeks we have been working with flowers inspired by Georgia O´Keeffe.

Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986) was an American artist.

Born near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, O'Keeffe first came to the attention of the New York art community in 1916. She is best known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, and New Mexico landscapes. O'Keeffe has been recognized as the "Mother of American modernism".

Abstract Watercolor Painting

This week the students learned about abstract paintings!!

We listened to a classic music and with their eyes closed they started to paint with watercolor.

It was very nice to see them enjoying the mixing of colors and  relaxing

while they were working...

Tree on canvas

Step by step:

* First the students learned how to draw a special tree,

each one made their own style.

* Then, we drew on the canvas and painted the background 

using water color paint.

* The trunk and branches were painted and

we also used colored glue for a 3D effect.

* Finally the leaves were made of colored buttons.
