4/21 This week in art!

Hello Artists,

We will be finishing up our Georgia O'Keeffe projects this week. I am so excited to see your finished work. I hope you have enjoyed learning about and being inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe these last few weeks, she is one of my most favorite artists!

For extra art this week try some flower origami. I am sharing a couple different videos below. You just need square shaped paper. It can be colored or you can add color with markers after you create your flower.

Important: If you would like your Georgia O'Keeffe art or any other art included in the virtual art show please send a clear photo of your art to me at melissaallen@thecottonwoodschool.org with your first name, last initial and grade by next Wednesday 4/28.

Have a great week!

💜

Melissa
