Georgia O’Keeffe-Inspired Art Activities
By Color Me Creative Art Room
Introduce students to the bold, nature-inspired artwork of Georgia O’Keeffe with this flexible artist study and choice-board resource. Students explore how O’Keeffe used close-up viewpoints, simplified shapes, bold color, careful observation, natural forms, and strong composition to transform flowers, landscapes, and other natural subjects into powerful works of art. The included activities give students multiple ways to respond creatively, making this resource useful for artist studies, art history integration, nature-inspired art, early finishers, sub plans, independent work, or choice-based art.
