"I found I could say things with shapes and color that I couldn't say any other way -- things I had no words for."
Georgia O'Keeffe, American, 1887-1986

Warm and Cool Flowers

For this lesson, we first talk about "warm" and "cool" colors and how they can change the mood of a painting. We also talk about Georgia O'Keeffe and the way she painted flowers. Then students are given the opportunity to paint their own warm, or cool flowers.

Thanks Kermit King Elementary students.
