Wayne Thiebaud Sweet Treat Art!

We learned about the artist Wayne Thiebaud and how he uses cakes, pies, ice cream cones and any other sweet treat as his subject matter. We looked at his art and then brainstormed together all of the desserts we could think of and wrote them on the board.  The students were then given a note card to make their contour drawing of the treat of their choice.  The card was used as a tracer for the kids to make multiple images that were all the same size.  We first tinted our paper using a big glob of white paint and a dot of either red, yellow, or blue as our tint color.  When the paper was dry the students traced their treat tracer in pencil and then colored them and added shadows using oil pastels. Yummy!

These are "truffles" done by a kindergartner...loooove it!
