Georgia O'Keeffe in pastels

The 4/5 Art Class (the flippy floppers) are learning about Georgia O'Keeffe and abstraction of nature using enlargement.  They are working in oil and chalk pastel on 18 by 24 drawing paper. They drew thumbnail sketches from observation of natural objects.

Chalk pastel and oil pastel color wheels

Studio Art students learned how to draw and color color wheels as a color theory review. They used compasses, rulers and mixed tertiary colors. They also created a value scale using analogous and complementary colors of a hue.

Art is messy.
