Wayne Thiebaud cakes

4th Grade students looked at artwork by Wayne Thiebaud and also watched a video clip of Thiebaud explaining why he paints cakes. Students created their own cakes and colored them with oil pastels. Students learned how to make their cakes look more realistic and 3-D by using ellipses to create the shape of the cake. They also learned how to make it look like a slice of cake had been removed to make it look more 3-D as well.
