In this engaging 6th grade art project, students created their own "Box of Chocolate" inspired by the works of artist Wayne Thiebaud, known for his vibrant depictions of everyday treats. Using Paint Sticks and Oil Pastels, they carefully illustrated detailed chocolate candies, employing a unique technique of scraping away the oil pastel to add intricate designs on top. To complete their masterpieces, students crafted a creative "box" using construction paper and tissue paper, beautifully encasing their colorful drawings of Valentine's chocolates. This project not only honed their artistic skills but also encouraged them to explore the delightful intersection of art and the familiar comforts of real life.
