WAAG: O'Keeffe, Color Schemes & Creating Mood (PDF & PPTX)
This week’s focus is all about color and emotion. Students explore how artists use color schemes to set a mood, then study how Georgia O’Keeffe’s expressive use of color helped shape modern art.
Make It Monday: Practice color schemes — primary, secondary, complementary, analogous, warm, cool, and more — to see how color choices change the “vibe” of an artwork.
Talented Tuesday: Learn about Georgia O’Keeffe’s life and her bold use of color to simplify and emphasize beauty in everyday subjects.
Art World Wednesday: Read about how O’Keeffe used color to guide emotion and focus, then reflect on how artists can use hue and contrast to change mood.
Think About It Thursday: Match color schemes to paintings and answer reflection questions about how warm and cool colors affect feeling.
Follow-Up Friday: Open-note review questions tie the week together and reinforce vocabulary and big ideas.
A perfect fit for color theory units or artist study weeks, this WAAG connects art skills with emotional expression — helping students see how artists use color to communicate.
