Georgia O'Keeffe Artist PowerPoint and Grid Method Art Project

Celebrate Women's History Month and teach your students all about artist Georgia O'Keeffe with this 35-slide PowerPoint presentation on her life and work and an accompanying art project! O'Keeffe's focus on flowers make this a great spring art project, but students can choose other subjects for this lesson as well!

Students will create unique artwork on their choice of subject matter, inspired by the way Georgia O'Keeffe zooms in on her images. This project is a great way to teach students how to use the grid method, a technique that helps students improve drawing accuracy. Grid drawing helps students focus on drawing only the shapes within each grid square, which is often easier than trying to draw the entire subject all at the same time. And don't fret - this lesson comes with both a grid drawing practice worksheet AND over 100 reference images for your students to choose from!

The Georgia O'Keeffe PowerPoint may take up to one class period. The art lesson, recommended for middle school and high school students, spans about 3 to 5 class periods and results in improved art skills and beautiful works of art that you will be eager to put on display!

This lesson requires no prep aside from photocopying the student handouts and reference images. Download and begin teaching right away!
