Cropped Sunflowers with oil pastels
Second Grade classes learned about the sunflower plant and its parts by filling in a circle/bubble map. They learned how to crop their sunflower to create an interesting composition. They also compared and contrasted two artists who painted sunflowers, the American artist Georgia O'Keeffe and the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. They learned how to blend sections of the oil pastels to create a more natural look. They used warm colors for the sunflower (red, orange and yellow) and painted the background with cool colors (blue, green, purple.) Connections to Science and Literature with the book "Camille and the Sunflowers: A Story about Vincent van Gogh" by Laurence Anholt.
