Georgia OKeefe lesson: Pre-K

Last week I taught my class of preschool students about Georgia O'Keefe. We read a story about her, and talked about how closely Georgia observed her surroundings. I picked up some Tulips, and had all the students make some close and unique observations about what they saw. When the students returned to their art stations I told them to keep their observations in mind as they painted and recorded what they saw. I think the results speak for themselves. Again, I'm blown away by the freedom of line, the different approaches, the careful observation, and the sensitive marks.
