Study the many organic shapes of flowers through the eyes of Georgia O’Keeffe. Create a drawing inspired by local plant life, your observations and her work.
1.
Look at some of Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings of flowers. What types of lines and shapes are represented in these paintings? How do organic shapes differ from the shapes of man-made items? Discuss the differences.
2.
Georgia O’Keeffe said, "If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment." What does O’Keefe mean by this statement? Take a walk around the school campus to look at flowers and plants. Sketch different shapes of petals and leaves you observe on a piece of paper.
3.
On a piece of construction paper use a crayon to sketch some organic shapes. Use loose, overlapping strokes to build-up the shapes in your drawing to create a flower. Refer to your sketches, live plants or O’Keefe’s work for inspiration.
4.
Flowers and plants have multi-tonal color variations. Create unique colors to reflect the beauty of natural objects by gently overlaying light coats of crayon on top of each other.
