"Pastel Foods" 1st Grade

The first graders have been creating patterns out of their favorite food. First, they learned about the artist Wayne Thiebaud. Wayne created paintings where he carefully arranged different types of desserts. The students then chose a food and practiced drawing it on sketch paper. On their final piece, they placed their foods into a pattern that repeats. They used oil pastels to add color, and then blended the pastel using their fingers.
