Georgia O’Keeffe

This lesson was one that I was thankful I had everything right in front of me. The lesson plan. The Read Aloud. The Read Aloud pictures. The activities and printables.

Do you ever have those days? Days when you know exactly what needs to be done but your body just seems to be doing the bare minimum and refuses to do more.

Lesson

Once again we learned so much about this amazing artist. We actually did this lesson while my husband was home for lunch and he just sat listening to our discussion and then simply said “Well, I didn’t know all that.”

This lesson’s Discussion Read Aloud included many different pictures to really show Liam some of Georgia O’Keeffe’s artwork. He was fascinated by how many times she painted the same object but in different ways.

Directly after we had finished discussing the Read Aloud I had an important phone call I had to take. I told Liam to wait on me to explain the art project but by the time I had returned he had completed it!

While there were a few aspects that I would have explained for him to do differently, I was super proud of how excited he was to complete his project.

Yes, the mom in me wanted to say “I told you to wait.” but sometimes things just need to slide. He enjoyed working on his project and that is what mattered the most at that moment.

What We Learned

By the end of the lesson, he was able to:

• recount details of Georgia O’Keefe’s life.
• execute their own artwork similar to Georgia O”Keefe

He also now has a good understanding of many new vocabulary words such as:

• Georgia O’Keefe

Here are some great resources that are not included in my Lesson Plan but that I felt were still worth mentioning. And I’m sure I’ll come back to these when we have space time throughout our week.
