#5 Watch these videos about Georgia O’Keeffe. Draw something you love really really close up and fill the whole page! I love to use oil pastel or watercolor for this but you can use anything you have (markers, markers, and water, chalk, crayons.) you can even use your phone or camera on your tablet to take pictures of things really close up to help you out.

Since we don’t have these machines we’re going to print with Styrofoam, a water spray bottle, paper, and markers. You DO NOT have to make a floral arrangement, think about all the popular images Andy Warhol loves. Pick something you love that you see in your world all the time.
Check out how screen printing is done! Very fascinating!
