About this School Project (K-Georgia O'Keeffe)
Kindergarten students learned about artist Georgia O’Keeffe. Georgia O’Keeffe painted landscapes, buildings but is most known for her close-up of flowers. O’Keeffe painted how she felt and used color to express her feelings. Inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe, kindergarten students created a painting of an up close flower.

Jackson G. Smith is a 10-year-old student at Martin J. Gottlieb Day School who has embraced his passion for art from a young age. Inspired by his grandfather, artist David Eldridge Smith, Jackson discovered his love for creativity in Kindergarten while studying under the guidance of S. Gutterman, the school’s beloved art teacher. Through these early experiences, Jackson has developed a deep appreciation for self-expression and the emotional impact of art.
His grandfather, David Eldridge Smith, was once quoted “The true worth in art lies in the emotions it can relieve or inspire. I see everyone as having talent in some area, and people should pursue their gifts. If you can't find commercial worth that makes you money, find something that makes you rich inside. All the money in the world can't get you happiness.”
Jackson embodies this philosophy in his work, demonstrating that artistic talent is not only a means of expression but also a source of personal fulfillment.
