THE PLAN
5 sessions; 40 minutes per session
1. SWBAT identify emphasis in Georgia O Keefe's paintings.
2. SWBAT develop a composition of a landscape using perspective in the background, and emphasis in the foreground.
3. SWBAT apply oil pastels in layers, mixing color, adding values and creating a rich, painterly effect.
1. View a variety of Georgia O Keefe paintings and discuss how she used space, emphasis, contrast and meaning.
2. Demonstrate how to draw hills or mountains in the background.
3. Demonstrate how to add elements which overlap and block views, but also add depth and emphasis to the composition.
4. Demonstrate how to use oil pastels, peeling paper wrapper, working with broken pastels, blocking in color, working with layers of pastel, mixing color on the artwork
5. Demonstrate how to finish by using the edge of the pastel to define clear outlines on edges of emphasized object in foreground.
1. I have filled the paper with a landscape composition creating a background, middle ground and foreground.
2. I have emphasized a small object in the foreground by making it large and overlapping objects in the landscape behind it.
3. I have added layers of oil pastel color for a painterly effect.
4. What I learned........
5. What I liked........
Reproductions of art by Georgia O Keefe. Displaying posters or calendar pages on classroom walls or display board throughout the project is helpful to set mood.
Students were engaged, especially with the step by step process of how to draw hills in the background. Also important to show students how to work with coloring mistakes, and learn the forgiving nature of oil pastels.
AFTER COMPLETION, all students should display their work on their desk and QUIETLY everyone walks around and looks at EVERYONEs work SILENTLY.

I like the emphasis on an object in the foreground. It adds that extra something to make it more individualized.
