Oil Pastel Close-Ups (...and Awesome Posters!)

For high school 2D art, students were instructed to create an up-close "painting" using oil pastels. This project was inspired by the work of Georgia O'Keeffe -- an American artist famous for close-up paintings of flowers. Here are a few close ups of close ups(!), followed by a group shot of everyone's on display. Great craftsmanship, effort, and creativity, everyone!!

 

 

Also, I've been making these posters of amazing things students say about what they learned. I'm hanging them all over the school! All these students are so great (and smart! and intuitive!)!
