What does it mean for a flower to cover up the whole surface of the paper? This is the basic question of the lesson in the classroom, where students are taught to see common things from an entirely new perspective through close-ups instead of wide angles.
With watercolor crayons, crayons, and watercolor brushes, the students take one small piece of nature and make it huge, playing with shade, tint, and value throughout. Georgia O’Keeffe art works this way too — flowers and desert shapes blown up so large that the original object becomes almost abstract. It is not really about copying a flower the same way. More than anything else, it becomes a matter of appreciating its shape, size, and color. These finer details are easy to miss at a normal, everyday scale.
