Art_Paper Flowers

The third graders are designing 3D paper flowers. They are using the flower anatomy they learned in science and inspiration from Georgia O'Keeffe to create realistic flowing natural forms. They first made prototypes out of computer paper and masking tape. Then, they translated their ideas to watercolor paper and glue. They wet the watercolor paper to mold it and used glue to attach the petals, stamen, pistils and ovule. Their designs compete with nature for sure!

Here are some examples of the prototypes:
