Last week, most of my 3rd grade classes completed their 3 dimensional clouds. This week we took a look at how artists are inspired by clouds and use them in their artwork. The artist that we focused on was Georgia O'Keeffe.
After watching this video that I found on YouTube, we looked more closely at a few cloud paintings by O'Keeffe.
The students had a choice of two projects, inspired by O'Keeffe's clouds. The materials we used for our projects were chalk pastels, white tempera paint, student created cloud stencils from construction paper, and blue construction paper for the backgrounds.
