Ok!! Wayne Thiebaud: Dessert Guy...we all know that :) We began this lesson with a discussion of Wayne Thiebaud's work, emphasizing the term "STILL LIFE". I used my Thiebaud Prezi to discuss artwork with the kiddos before we started: Thiebaud Treats Prezi ... feel free to check it out for your own Thiebaud lessons :)
After chatting and observing, students created their own still life drawings, using a special sweet treat as their focus. We traced with black oil pastels when finished.
Day 2 was spent with a focus on "TINTS" (mixing colors with white to create something lighter). I added liquid tempera to my colored tempera cakes for quick and easy color mixing. The kids loved it, and it saved me loads of time and clean up!
On the third and final day, we looked at some artwork with obvious shadows. The kids noticed that the light was always on the opposite side as the shadow. We then used regular black tempera cakes to add to one side of each object in their paintings, showing SHADES. The paint mixed nicely with paint that was already on the paper....insta-shadows!
Have a SWEET day, my fellow artists :)
