Georgia O'Keefe Flowers
Students studied the artist Georgia O'Keefe and her flower paintings. Students observed her use of cropping and extreme closeups to accentuate her own style. Students then created their own flowers using this style of cropping and finished them with chalk pastels.

Marc Chagall & Surrealism
Students studied the artist Marc Chagall and his amazing paintings. We discussed Surrealism and different morphing techniques to create a dreamy piece of art. Students colored their drawings with oil pastels and watercolor. We finished them by mounting them on black paper.

Frank Stella 3-D Wall Art
Students studied the 3-D wall sculptures of contemporary artist Frank Stella. Students then made their own wall
art creating patterns with oil pastel and watercolor. The challenge for students was to cut, glue, and manipulate the designs in order to make them pop out like 3-D sculpture.

Andy Warhol Pop Art Portraits
Students studied world famous Pop artist Andy Warhol.We discussed his use of repetition to place importance on the image. Students then created a self portrait that was duplicated four times on colored paper of their choice. We then color coded them with colored pencils.
