Hey there, art-loving homeschoolers! In this episode I have a fantastic art idea for you and your kids to explore. We're diving into the fascinating world of Georgia O'Keeffe and her art exploration in Hawaii.
Here are the main points:
🌟Georgia O'Keeffe was known for her exquisite flower paintings, but did you know she only painted about 10% of her artwork on flowers? She painted deserts, clouds, and even a pineapple! Discover the captivating story of her visit to Hawaii, where she painted a pineapple for a famous advertising campaign.
🌟Engage your kids in an art and nature study inspired by O'Keeffe's Hawaiian journey. Dive into the geography, cultural connections, and vibrant flora of Hawaii. Encourage your children to create their own open-ended artwork, whether it's a pineapple-themed still life or an advertising campaign for a tropical fruit.
🌟Learn from O'Keeffe's words of wisdom: "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way." Use this opportunity to explore the power of visual language with your children and witness the unique expression they bring forth through their creations.
