Jr. High students learned a little about pop artist Wayne Thiebaud and his colorful works portraying common objects such as pastries, hot dogs, and ice cream.
The kids started with a grid and, using the rule of thirds, arranged pieces of candy in what they deemed the most pleasing arrangement. They then hot-glued the pieces to the grid, taped off a sheet of mixed-media paper, and drew their candy following the layout on their grid. After coloring their candies (and eating them :) the students experimented with oil pastels.
Here is the process (somewhat). . .
. . .the finished projects. . .
. . .and some close-ups
Overall, they were successful. Some students loved working with the pastels, others will pass next time they're an option! In the end, I think they all did a great job.
Thanks for stopping by!
