Good morning, Div. 4!
Welcome to a new day! Tomorrow is a pro d day, and Monday is a holiday, so I included a few longer activities for you that you might want to continue over the next few days!
This morning at 11:00am is book club on the general channel! We are discussing A Boy Called Bat!
I have a letter writing activity for you that you can find on the teams assignment page. I would like you to get more familiar writing emails from your school district email! I look forward to hearing from you 🙂
Thirdly, we also have a new art activity:
Today, we are going to start an exploration of a famous artist, Georgia O’Keeffe.
- First, I’d like you to watch this video of Ms. Carley reading My Name is Georgia: A Portrait by Jeanette Winter and explaining the art project.
- Next, watch a minute or two of videos showing the perspectives that Georgia’s art seem to be focusing on.
- Third check out some more of Georgia’s flower art!Â
- Finally, try to create some of your own art!
Creating art in the style of Georgia O’Keefe:
- Either find a photo online, or take your own photo of a flower (or choose one of her paintings to re-create)
- Zoom waaaay in (bug’s eye view!) to find the subject for your art. If you took a photo, you can literally zoom in. If you have an image, you can frame it, like this image from “The Helpful Art Teacher”
- Don’t include the stems or background in your art
- Try to make sure the petals of the flower touch many edges
- Draw in pencil first! Then colour with the medium of your choice (pencil crayon, pastel, water colour, paint)
Here are a few directed art videos in her style, in case you want a little more support:
Hope you have a wonderful long weekend!
Love, Ms. Carley
