3rd Grade Wayne Thiebaud Inspired Art

Looking at pictures of sweets inspired our third graders to create Wayne Thiebaud ice cream cones and cakes. We studied how tints and shades are made by adding white and black to a color.

We continued our studies and talked about shape and form. We drew a cylinder that we turned into a cake. We pretended that someone ate a slice of cake and here is what our beautiful and delicious results looked like! I have to say I am really impressed with these 3rd graders!
