Georgia O'Keefe had a long and varied career but is mostly famous for her oversized flower paintings.1. Let each student choose from a collection of large flower photos, possibly from old calendars. Instruct them to first sketch their flower in pencil, large enough to go near or even off the edges of the paper.
2. Chalk pastels are colored and blended into the paper. Recommend that large areas be colored first, and fine details on top go last. The background looks nice when colored in with a contrasting or complementary color.

These are wonderful. Please invite your readers to tell their children about ArtShowForKids.com, a safe place where children share their art and participate in ongoing children artshows and kids art contests.
Way to go!
This is… 3d Chalk Paintings
Wow, I never thought anybody could do that! Does it actually look like that when you stand there for real, or does the effect only appear in photos? Because, wouldn’t it look all flat in real life?
My children love drawing chalk pastel stuff.
They think you are the best!
