In 1977, President Gerald Ford presented Georgia with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor award to an American citizen. In 1985 she was awarded the National Medal of Arts. Georgia died in 1986 in Santa Fe, NM. In accordance with her final wishes, her ashes were scattered into the wind from the top of a mountain in New Mexico. In 1997, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum was established in Santa Fe.

So…. what are we gonna do?

We are going to do large oil pastel drawing of a flower/s, using a grid to increase our observation and drawing skills.

Then we are going to do an abstract watercolor landscape painting that focuses on the movement and colors of the landscape more than the actual details.

This project has two very different parts: one that focuses on really seeing every detail and line, and another that focuses on eliminating the details and enhancing the colors and emotions. Why would we do this?
