Georgia O Keeffe Calla Lily Art Project Art History Art Lesson Flower Drawing

Are you looking for a Georgia O'Keeffe art project that feels beautiful, meaningful, and actually exciting for students to create? Do you want an art history art lesson that helps students explore flower forms, composition, line, shape, and shading while making artwork that looks polished and impressive when finished? This Georgia O'Keeffe Calla Lily Art Project is such a strong choice for teachers, art teachers, and homeschool families who want an art lesson that feels artistic, high-interest, and display worthy.

In this lesson, students create a calla lily inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe with large flowing shapes, soft blended color, and dramatic contrast. The finished artwork has such a striking look with the curled lily bloom, rich green stem, dark leafy shapes, and soft blue background. It feels calm, elegant, and artistic, which makes it such a lovely option for an artist study, flower art lesson, or art history activity.

WHY THIS ONE STANDS OUT

This project has such a graceful and eye-catching final look. The large curled lily and soft blended shading help students create artwork that feels mature and artistic without needing a huge amount of complicated detail. It is one of those lessons that makes students feel proud because the final result looks so impressive.

It is also a strong lesson for helping students build confidence with shape, line, contrast, blending, and composition. Students are working with a flower, but in a bold enlarged way that feels much more artistic than a simple flower drawing.

ART HISTORY SUPPORT IS BUILT IN

This lesson is inspired by Georgia O Keeffe and connects to Calla Lily No. 2 from 1927, giving students a strong artist study and art history connection while they create.

AMAZING FOR DISPLAY

The finished calla lily artworks are stunning. The soft blue background, rich greens, dark leaves, and curled flower shape make these pieces look beautiful on bulletin boards, hallway displays, portfolios, and spring or flower themed displays.
