To start my project we worked in small groups to come up with different words we could link to the theme of Home. I chose 5 different words and made a mind map for each word. To get started with ideas I played with inks and responded to my words, using different colours and mark-making with inks.

I have used different materials to play and draw with. I tried using soft pastels and found them hard to work with, they were too messy. I used blue and green to make different tones and black to make detail.

My mind-maps with my first ideas.  I decided to chose landscapes and flowers because this was something that I enjoy drawing and I can collect research for this idea.

O'Keeffe's career was long and varied, but the theme for which she will always be most famous is, of course, flowers

It is these that have established her as one of the major figures of American art, and also highly influential female artist. Flower paintings had always previously seen as traditional, still life art in which artists would show off their technical skills, but not so much their creative flair. She changed all that, to the point where she essentially owned the painting of flowers as an art form.

The rounded shapes and crisp edges of this theme were ideal to the technical style that the artist had already developed earlier on in her career. Georgia was also a keen gardener and had connections to several local florists when living in New York City. This easy access allowed her to paint carnations, roses, larkspurs, hollyhocks and trumpet flowers.

It were Red Cannas that an adult O'Keeffe first captured with oils and watercolours, and her enjoyment here quickly led her to add other flower types to her portfolio. Having earlier portrayed flowers as a child, this was actually just a return to an original passion which continued throughout her life. Initially, her compositions were fairly traditional, captured all of the plant including flower and stem. Later on, she decided to encourage others to see the beauty that she had found by focusing on the blossoming elements in greater detail. This brightness and energy helped to differentiate her work from what had gone before by classic still life artists.

O'Keeffe recognised during her time living in New York that so few people now took, or had the time to take, interest in such stunning items and she wanted to re-connect the masses with the importance and beauty of nature, much as Ansel Adams had done through photography. This artist did not seek to reproduce accurately the blossoming flower, merely assert her own expressive creativity upon it's original beauty. This approach was earlier achieved by Vincent van Gogh in paintings such as Sunflowers, 1887. Modernists like Henri Matisse and Emil Nolde would also capture flowers during their careers, but not with the zoomed-in characteristic used by O'Keeffe.

I like the perspective of this bridge crossing over the river.

To make my landscape painting I mixed to different drawings together, drawing out the landscape first then adding the flowers to make my composition. I used acrylic paint to mix my colours and I used brush strokes to created the texture of grass.

My pencil drawing is primary research, working from the flowers I picked from outside. This drawing is A3, drawing on a larger scale is easier.

I like plants and flowers as a project idea.  To get me started I collected plants from outside.  I used the plants to make drawings from.

My photographs were taken during a walk through Chorlton Water Park. I like the river and the grass banks with flowers.

My presentation boards were made to display the different landscapes and flowers I have painted during my project. I have used a mixture of paintings, copied images of my artwork onto transparencies and cellulose thinners to combine and layer my artworks

Found images from the internet. I like the colours and the composition.

I drew these from real life, using pastels.

Playing around on the copier, I used the negative and mirror image to create different effects of my paintings, I also resized them and made a repeat tile pattern.
