About this School Project (2nd-Wayne Thiebaud inspired Gumball Machines)
Second grade students learned about the artist Wayne Thiebaud who is known for his colorful paintings of desserts and commonplace objects such as gumball machines. We looked at many examples of his artwork and discussed his use of repeating shapes, line, texture and shadows. Students began by tracing a circle and drawing the base of the gumball machine. They used different types of lines to add detail to the gumball machine, colored it with crayons, added a shadow and then used dot markers for gumballs.
