Students looked carefully at natural objects, then drew and painted.
For fifth graders, it was shells and other objects for the sea, which reminded us of summer. After drawing, students overlay their objects with designs that created a point of emphasis, inspired by bull's-eyes found in American Artist Aaron Douglas work (below).
Third graders looked at autumn leaves and used watercolor for their work.
Our leaf painting were inspired by the big, bold color and unified designs of artist Georgia O'keeffe, but our final projects could become something more personal and unique!
