How to Paint Like Georgia O'Keeffe

Many moons ago, I was a substitute teacher.

It was a great gig during my single/newly dating (my now husband) phase of life.

I could pick and choose the jobs I would accept, and if it didn't work out, I wasn't obligated to return the next day.

An art position opened up one day, and I quickly jumped on it, even though the school was pretty far from my house...this one sounded interesting. 

After showing up for what I thought was a "day" job, I later realized, the art teacher needed someone to cover for her for several months!

And the best part, I was able to create and implement my own curriculum (within certain guidelines of course).

My idea: Art Journals.

Each week, we'd study the artist, talk about one of their famous pieces of artwork, and then, in our own way, recreate our own version of the original.

Georgia O'Keeffe was one of our journal entries. I had been introduced to her artwork from a family I had nannied for and I just loved her viewpoint on taking a close up of flowers, and focusing on the details. 

So, when education.com contacted me to see if I'd be interested in featuring one of their activities for kids...I was ELATED to see that Georgia O'Keeffe was their focus!

I have used activities from education.com for YEARS for my oldest son, as we explored homeschooling and educational summer activities, and I'm thrilled to be able to feature one of their activities here:
