20th Century American Artist Georgia O’Keeffe 20th Century American Artist

What can you predict about this artist? Georgia O’Keeffe What can you predict about this artist?

Georgia O’Keeffe O’Keeffe’s artwork has been called “wild energy” How can art contain “wild energy?”

Georgia O’Keeffe lush, overpowering flowers sun-drenched landscapes Some of O’Keeffe’s subjects: lush, overpowering flowers sun-drenched landscapes open skies bleached bones of animals long gone

“Lush, Overpowering Flowers” “By enlarging the petals to over-life sized proportions, O'Keeffe forces the viewer to confront what might otherwise be overlooked and, in turn, elevates the ordinary to the extraordinary.“ (www.metmuseum.org) “Black Iris” (1926)

“Sun-Drenched Landscapes” “The images were drawn from her life experience and related either generally or specifically to places where she lived.” “The Red Hills, Grey Sky” (Near Lake George, NY)

“Open Skies” “Sky above Clouds IV” (1965) “Traveling around the world, {O’Keeffe} was exhilarated by the views seen from an airplane window. She described the changing patterns and colors as "breathtaking" and was moved to interpret these sights and feelings in paint.”

“Bleached Bones of Animals Long Gone” “From the Faraway, Nearby” (1938) “Rather than signifying death, O'Keeffe said that the bones symbolized the eternal beauty of the desert.”

Georgia O’Keeffe’s Favorite Place to Paint Located in the Bisti Badlands in Navajo country, about 150 miles northwest of her home in Ghost Ranch, it was a stretch of desolate gray and black hills that the artist said looked from a distance like "a mile of elephants." “The Black Place II” (1944)

Why did O’Keeffe choose simple subjects for her art?

A Quick Switch to Haiku! Background question: What is haiku? Prediction: How may haiku and Georgia O’Keeffe connect?

A Brief History of Haiku Haiku originated in 17th Century Japan and was a popular pastime in the Japanese culture. Buddhist monks made haiku a “mindset, a way of living.” Basho, the monk, (1644-1694) was famous for his haiku.

Haiku History and Form How does the very form of Haiku relates to Buddhism? “Simple directness” “Instantaneous perception” How does this haiku show these qualities? Deep in a windless wood, not one leaf dares to move . . . Something is afraid. --by Buson

“Simple directness” “Instantaneous perception” Read the poem below to find examples of these qualities: After the moon sets, Slow through the forest, shadows Drift and disappear. by Buson

Haiku . . . “has been described as the poem of a single breath.”

“a creative offering straight from the heart.” Haiku is said to be . . . “a creative offering straight from the heart.”

“shows what it means to be human.” What does this mean? Haiku . . . “shows what it means to be human.” What does this mean?

Form of haiku Like the subjects of haiku, its form is equally simple. It has only three lines. Lines 1 and 3 have only five syllables. Line 2 has seven syllables. Western winds whip out dead, dry leaves that hide by fence Now it’s time to rake 5 7

Possible haiku subjects Of course, the best way to be inspired is to write a haiku when you are out in nature: The sea The river A sunset The forest A path The moon The backyard A cliff Stars The desert A bird Rain The mountains A moth Snow The valleys A goat A rabbit The farm Dew Storm ANYTHING IN NATURE CAN INSPIRES YOU!

Create your own HAiku Directions: Your group of 3 will be given a painting by Georgia O’Keeffe. You are EACH responsible for first analyzing the painting and then creating a Haiku about your painting. You must follow the format discussed in class. Write your name, date, and class period on the lined side of your notecard. Put your haiku in large letters on the blank side of your card!

Bringing nature to the classroom Open your writer’s notebook and get ready to take a nature fieldtrip within the classroom! You will go around the world and experience scenes as they are occurring in nature! As you experience each scene, jot down as many haiku as you can create! These can count as letters in your Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life. Teacher will access the Sampler Videos of Nature to Inspire Haiku (Word Document with hyperlinks)
