For my final project I did a Georgia O'Keeffe painting Rams head Hollyhock.

This website was very helpful with finding the history and meaning behind this piece. This painting was done in 1935 by Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico where she lived for many years and where she died. it is made to represent a tragic famine scene, and is described as being sad. White Hollyhocks represent innocence. Georgia studied art at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York. This is where she learned her unique techniques that are shown in her paintings. It was difficult to replicate this piece in 3d form but I am happy with how it turned out. I mainly used a needle tool to make the cavity in the nose and the eye socket once I got the desired shape for the skull itself. The horns were difficult to make proportional but I like the way they turned out. If I were to do it again I would try different glazes to get a better result.
