Pop Art, Thiebaud Cupcakes - Soft Pastels Value Study

Wayne Thiebaud “Cupcakes

2nd Grade                                           Soft Pastels / Colored Chalk

 
Students learned about Artist Wayne Thiebaud and the variety of popular “sweets” he painted including cake slices, milk shakes and everyone’s favorite… Cupcakes!  After identifying the basic shapes that make up a cupcake, students created vertical, horizontal, diagonal and curved lines to outline its parts and fill them with color. Value was then added by using both white and black chalk to highlight and darken certain areas; creating an awareness of light, space, and depth in the artwork.
