Welcome to Mr. Herzog's Third Grade Online Lessons:

Georgia O'Keeffe Flowers :

Georgia O’Keeffe is known as the Mother of American Modernism. She is famous for her paintings of enlarged flowers, southeastern landscapes, and animal skulls. She was also elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Before we start let's watch a couple of videos about Georgia O' Keeffe.

Please read through instructions before you begin:

• Use a 8 1/2" x 11" white piece of paper (any paper will do).
• Hold the paper vertically.
• Fold the paper in half, if you would like to draw 2 flowers.
• You may draw any of the flowers found on these videos or you may create one of your own, you decide.

• Carefully draw your close-up flower in the center of the paper. (See examples)
• Draw your flowers large enough so that your hand can not cover it.
• Think of about the details you would like to include in your drawing, the petals, the stamen (the center of the flower), the stem and leaves. 
• Once you are done drawing your close-up flower, color your flower in completely as well as the background. 
• Use the colors you see in the close-up photo.
• You may color your close-up flower in crayon, magic markers, water color, or color pencils (whatever supplies you have at home).
• When you color the background use the color found in the photo.
• I can't wait to see the beautiful flowers you create!

• Remember: once you are finished with your artwork take a picture of it and email it to rherzog@wtps.org. Include the students name and teacher's name and grade. I will post it on Bells Online Art Gallery.
