We started by reading a book about Georgia O'keeffe and how she loved to draw and paint things in nature. When Georgia O'Keeffe paints flowers she makes them HUGE and extends the painting off the caves.
To start the project, the students drew flowers on black construction paper and then outlined their designs with GLUE!
Once the glue dries it provides a crisp black outline for our chalk coloring. The chalk pastels resist wherever the glue has dried.
In preparation for this project, the students made color wheels using chalk and learned how well the chalks blend together.
They had a blast using the chalk pastels to mix their own colors for their flowers!
Here are some of their finished flowers!
I love how each flower is so unique and COLORFUL!
