7th graders Yummy Acrylic Painting

This year the Seventh graders worked on acrylic paintings of desserts inspired by the luscious artwork of Wayne Theibaud. They started the lesson drawing in oil pastels on paper while looking at a real donuts or cupcakes (which can last a long time in the fridge for these purposes.) Next they completed the paintings on canvas board with acrylic paint, closely observing the object and the shadows it created.
