O'Keeffe painters!

Yesterday, Ms. van Ark taught Room 8 about Georgia O'Keeffe. After learning a little about her life and seeing some of her paintings, we tried our hand at painting flowers. Drawing the flowers LARGE was the key...







Once our flowers were drawn, Ms. van Ark showed us how to watercolor. We painted for close to an hour, with many Room 8ers painting more than one...I think Nate even painted three!














Here are some of our finished paintings...

    Georgia O'Keeffe is my favorite painter. I especially like her paintings of cow skulls and flowers. I'm so glad the students are expressing themselves in the manner of famous artists. Keep up the great teaching! SAS
