In this vibrant art and science lesson, students are inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s work and her stunning floral portraits. Learners study the parts of a flower, including petals, stamens, and pistils, and discover how each part helps the plant survive and reproduce. With this scientific understanding, students create close-up flower renderings in O’Keeffe’s signature style, emphasizing bold composition, blending, and layering with oil pastels. The result is a breathtaking fusion of art and biology, where students celebrate both natural beauty and artistic expression through color, texture, and form.
