Wayne Thiebaud's Cakes painting was used to teach students how to draw three-dimensional cylinders. They first correctly guessed that the repetition of cakes was supposed to be a commentary on popular culture. Then we sketched out a single cake and made it look round and voluminous by adding shading on the cake and table. For the final, they designed a delicious cake they would sell at their own bakery and colored it in oil pastel. Bon appetite!
Hello! Welcome to my blog! I'm an art teacher at Manhattan Academy in Manhattan Beach, CA. My students range from pre-school through 5th grade. When I'm not teaching art, I'm having fun with my husband and toddler girl, and working on a children's book.
This is so cool! I want to try this too, but of course give it my own twist. I hope we both have a snow day tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteYes, no school for me either :) Jeremiah might have to work though! Boo!
