4th Grade O'Keeffe Skulls

 

In this project 4^th graders learned about the artist Georgia O’Keeffe. O’Keeffe is a famous artist who was from Wisconsin.  She grew up in Wisconsin and then lived in New York and New Mexico when she became famous.  She is most famous for her large paintings and chalk drawings of Flowers and Skulls.  She enlarges (makes it big), crops (zooms in and goes off the paper) and abstracts (makes it look different than in real life).  Students in 4^th grade studied a real cattle skull and drew a detailed pencil drawing of the skull.  They then used southwest designs to create a drawing of a weaving behind their skull.
