Our Art based on Georgia O'Keeffe



We have been looking at the american artist Georgia O'Keeffe. She liked to paint flowers and she painted them BIG! We have painted pansies , lavendar and sunflowers. We tried mixing colours and observing shapes closely. Here are a some of our pansies being painted. Our sunflowers look great too. They are up in our classroom.We thought about a good colour to paint in the background so our flowers would stand out.
We have some great artists in our room!
Here are Cameron and Katelyn using their skills.

How to make recycled paper.


1. We found clean scrap paper.


2. We ripped up the paper into lots of little pieces.




3. We put water over the paper. We used the food processor to mush it up.




4. We put the frame in and scooped up some paper mush.



5. We squeezed the water out with sponges.

6. The paper dried. It was soft on one side and rough on the other side.
