The first graders and I looked at the artist Wayne Thiebaud's gumball machine painting. The first day we all chipped in and painted sheets of scrap paper (Eric Carle style, using plastic forks for texture) to make our gumball circles out of. Also on the first day, I gave the students a red, black and white oil pastel and we drew our gumball machines together. We then put in our shadow next to our machine. The next day we divided up the painted paper and cut our gumballs of them. I talked to the students about overlap and space and encouraged them to show overlap in their gumball machines.
