Oil Pastel Cake Paintings - Wayne Thiebaud (Art Project & Presentation)

Oil Pastel Cake Paintings - Wayne Thiebaud

This lesson includes a detailed 17-slide PowerPoint presentation packed with information about Wayne Thiebaud, his artwork, tints and shades and detailed instruction on how to create an oil pastel cake painting in the style of Thiebaud. Also included is a 7-page instructional guide that will walk your students through the process of drawing a variety of different cuts of cake by drawing various forms of cylinders. Scaffolding these skills will build the confidence kids need to create the final oil pastel piece. Everything you need to confidently lead students through a class discussion and successfully complete the project is right here! I personally teach this lesson to my 5th graders and they have a great time creating their favorite cake (who doesn't love cake?!)
