Cupcake Drawing

-

 Description: This was the lesson that I taught, I had the students watch a video about Wayne Thiebaud. His work is known for food. I had a PowerPoint that described his techniques vs what we would be doing. After the PowerPoint, there was a post assessment with picking designs and colors you liked. The project was three cupcakes. Started off with pencil, outlined in sharpie for all the designs. The materials that were used were colors, markers, and watercolor paint for coloring in the cupcakes. This was there choice on what colors to use. They used  a line in middle with yellow as in the sky and blue as the bottom half to pop out the cupcakes. 


Extension Activity: I would have the students draw different items for a bakery, this could be an idea with a substitute or just to add on. I would have them share with the class there favorite dessert and why they picked to draw that one. I would also have them use different materials that they want to use.

Earth Ocean

 Description: For this project we used construction paper- one for the background and one for our fish. We also could use others for background for our ocean scene. She started to go over about fish and the habitats they live in, etc. Half stencil fish was already cut out so we traced it to have a whole fish. I used blue as the background for water. To make the fish we had to fold the construction paper in half hotdog style. We took the fish stencil and traced our outline of the fish. Unfolding the paper so it showed the whole fish. To make the paper weaving in the middle of the fish we had to first fold our fish in half. We took our 2" construction and placed it just under the fins. Then we drew a line down from the stop line to where the fold of the fish is and made 7 lines. We cut lines and weaved the paper through. We picked two other scenes for the ocean to complete.  Extension activity- This would be good to have them write about on a PowerPoint and share different ...

 Description- We worked in partners to create this artwork. First she talked about grid making with what jobs use grids. After she gave us a paper with a grid on it and we had to copy the design on the board onto our grid. We picked three colors out, one of our partners favorite, ours and a random one. We picked colors that matched sun. We also had three white papers. She had us fold all 6 pieces of paper in half, hot dog style. Then we put all three pieces of paper inside each other. On the top paper we marked with a ruler every inch. We then drew lines to connect the dots. We cut those strips in half (on the fold line). We had to connect our colored papers and white papers based off of our grids- we used tape and the white sheets to connect. We had them on a wood stick to hang up. Extension Activity- This would be something to teach with math when it comes to grids. Showing them different colors equal different numbers.

 Description- We drew an ocean scene on a piece of paper. We transferred it to Styrofoam. We laid our sheet on top of it then traced it. After that we went onto the Styrofoam and traced/drew what wasn't showing up. Coloring the ocean scene was next. I tried to avoid the lines so it made the drawings to pop more. After I transferred it to water color paper. We had to put water on it then use a paper towel to dry it, we used a roller to transfer it to the water paper.  Extension activity- This could be used to write compound words. The students could do all the same steps but have it be compound words instead
