-Olesheguen, Exceed Charter School, 1st Grade
In this unit, artists study the woman artist 'Georgia O'Keeffe', looking in particular at the way she would frame and compose her images. They bring in objects that are special to them (or use objects provided by the teacher) and draw them, closely considering their own compositions as they work. Finally, they work with watercolors to fill them in.
