Found this idea on Pinterest and changed it up a little. Loved the idea of having the 3rd graders draw a cow skull with shading but wanted to also incorporate a flower into the project since flowers were also Georgia's main subject matter.
We heard a meet the artist story of Georgia O'Keeffe and then looked at a photo of her with a cow skull on the projection screen to draw the skull. And yes, the kids were rather surprised when I told them they would be drawing a skull in Art class.
I reminded them to look at the outside shape and draw it part by part instead of being overwhelmed by the entire picture at once.
The 3rd grade artists added shading where it was needed, then looked at calendar pictures to draw a flower and color it with oil pastels. Problem solving where to glue the cut out skull and flower on their choice of blue background paper and adding a shadow for depth completed the piece.
