Cupcakes!

We are being inspired by the edible looking paintings of Wayne Thiebaud.

Although he is most famous for his paintings of food, he also paints everyday objects, landscapes and people.

Here's an info sheet for your sketchbooks.

Here are a couple of nice YouTube videos about Thiebaud. Here and Here

Activities

Use lots of different coloured paper to make a cupcake collage. Decorate it with all your favourite toppings.

Using chalk pastels on black sugar paper, draw a cup cake. Use a dark and light version of each colour, keeping the light colours all on the same side. This will help to make your cake look 3D and will look like the light is shining on it from one side. Don't forget to add a white or very pale pink highlight to your cherry to make it look shiny.
