1st Grade Georgia O'Keefe Autumn Leaves

This week in 1st grade, we learned about Georgia O'Keefe and her beautiful close-up paintings of leaves and flowers. Here are a few of her paintings below.

We talked about the changing colors of the leaves in Autumn and created some leaf rubbings with crayons to find all of the small detailed lines in our leaves (collected from around our school). Next, we applied our new found knowledge and painted large scale leaves using fall colors. Here are some beautiful results below, great job first graders!
