Georgia O'Keefe with Kindergarten and 1st Grade

A few weeks ago I shared the work of Georgia O'Keefe with the 2nd and 3rd graders and introduced using a view finder. This week with the kindergarten and 1st graders we read My Name is Georgia by Jeanette Winter. The younger students did not use view finders but they did select a flower photo to copy a picture of what they observed. I told them to pay attention to the color, texture, and the shape of the petals. I was so thrilled with how hard they worked. There were some pretty amazing results in looking and seeing!
