The 2nd and 3rd graders did a complicated floral project to celebrate Georgia O'Keeffe's birthday and learn a little about the artist and her life. The students folded the paper then marked it to cut out the petals. A few had mishaps but all were able to get the flowers cut with a little help. We talked about vibrant colors and LARGE art that was her specialty. We used colored pencils and markers then added 3-D centers with bright colored tissue paper wads. The students were pretty creative and everyone wanted to show off the flowers they made. This is a great project to work on manual dexterity and learn about color intensity.
