Cupcake Results

We finished one batch of cupcake sculptures (a la Thiebaud) today and the rest should be done tomorrow. I thought we'd have time to use them as models for drawing today, but painting took the whole period. It seems I frequently misjudge how much kids can get done in 45 minutes!! We'll have to wait til next week for the drawings.

I love the way this boy planned out the placement of his purple and blue two-toned cupcake to alternate with the colors of his two-toned board. He was quite specific how he wanted everything placed!
 And these two students went all out on designing their boards with patterns:

My biggest surprise was when a couple of kids told me this was the first time they had ever done paper mache!!! I'm glad they got the opportunity before moving on to Middle School.

  2. I got it! Thanks it's all formatted. I'd never heard of that one either and I want to use it myself one day. My husband is from Philly and I've always loved the LOVE park sculpture. Hmmm. .. also makes me of skate parks. . . design a skate park. . . might be fun for a middle school junk sculpture. (another project for another time) By the way thanks for keeping it simple. I appreciate that and so will everyone else. Thanks again.
