Create bold, expressive artwork inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe with this engaging printable art project. Students can choose between painting oversized flowers or iconic desert skulls while exploring color blending, dramatic composition, and close-up perspectives that made O’Keeffe’s artwork so recognizable.

The project offers two flexible options to fit a variety of classrooms and age groups. Younger artists can color directly on the printable templates, while older students can use a carbon transfer sheet to trace their chosen design onto watercolor or mixed-media paper before painting with watercolors, gouache, or acrylics. This technique introduces students to a more authentic artistic process while producing beautiful finished artwork.

With easy-to-follow instructions, teacher tips, student examples, and 50 printable templates, this resource is perfect for classrooms, enrichment programs, art clubs, and creative afternoons at home. The flexible format allows teachers to adapt the project for both short class periods and longer painting sessions.
