Flower Art Projects for Kids
Flowers are such a friendly subject. They're simple shapes kids can draw with confidence, and they open the door to color mixing, famous artists like Van Gogh and O'Keeffe, and every season from spring tulips to Remembrance Day poppies. Here are my flower art lessons, plus free ideas from the blog.

Questions teachers and parents ask
What age is flower art good for?
Every age. Younger kids can draw big simple flowers; older students can zoom in, blend color and add detail.

Vincent van Gogh and Georgia O'Keeffe are classic choices, and both are easy to connect to a lesson.
When should I teach flower art?
Spring and Mother's Day are popular, sunflowers fit late summer and fall, and poppies fit Remembrance Day and Veterans Day.

Drawing paper and pencils to start, then oil pastels, watercolor, tempera or markers for color.
