This is the first watercolor project we do in Painting 1. We practice with watercolor, create color wheels, and go outside and paint flowers in the open air. Then we begin this project. There is a presentation on Georgia O'Keefe with a little bio and examples of her art work. The students then create a collage that is inspired by O'Keefe. The collage is what there composition will be. Once they have created their collage, the student begins their final composition. Things they need to think about are: Color scheme, composition, craftsmanship. By creating a collage, we are avoiding just printing images off the internet, which I despise! I just realized my best examples all integrated birds into the composition. But, they all have great color schemes, interesting compositions and are very neat.
