This lesson was inspired by the video: Wayne Thiebaud Cakes: 3rd-5th Grade Virtual Art Lesson.
Here's a short video of Thiebaud's works (show the first minute of the video). I then showed my students this Wayne Thiebaud: CBS Sunday Morning. Wayne Thiebaud- A Retrospective can be found here.

I used a lesson from ARTASTIC! Miss Oetken's Artists: We all scream for ice cream (and cupcakes) with Wayne Thiebaud. Remember that you can teach several principles of design like line, unity, and balance with this lesson, and the more details the students add to their work (like cherries, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles) the better the work will look in the end.
