Second grade Elementary Art Curriculum is focused on artists. After we wrapped up Matisse and our paper cut-outs we moved on to Wisconsin's own Georgia O'Keeffe.
This is a repeat project for me and you can find the original lesson here.
I Can Statements: I Can talk about Georgia O'Keeffe. I Can practice drawing many different kinds of leaves. I Can draw my best leaf using the whole back of my paper. I Can add details and an outline to my leaf with my best craftsmanship.
The project is based on one of my FAVORITE O'Keeffe paintings....Autumn Leaves, Lake George
Learning about O'Keeffe and filling out our Artist Book, Talking about fall color schemes, creating painted paper
Day 2: Practicing drawing leaves with the worksheet I made below then drawing the best one on the back of the painted paper they made, adding outline and veins with black tempera paint and flat head brushes
Resources I used:
Awesome bio video with her art and stop-motion animations, I read aloud the things that were written.
Getting to Know The World's Greatest Artists: Georiga O'Keeffe
This is a project I will for sure keep repeating throughout the future. The kids love it, it's beautiful, and the display is a favorite of mine!
