Wayne Thiebaud Cakes

I teach this lesson with grade 2 - Cylinder Cakes! We talk about the basic parts of a cylinder (which we learned in 1st grade, lesson coming soon!), practice practice, then we learn how to draw a slice out of our cylinder cakes! There's lots of practice drawing our cylinders and "cutting a piece out" before we move on to our larger paper. I introduce Wayne Thiebaud to the students, we talk about his artwork together before moving on to our own! Here are some great examples:

                                                   They are all drawn on 12x12' paper.
