Wayne Thiebaud is an American artist best know for his colorful paintings of everyday objects especially food.
Drawing is hard for our preschoolers but we see improvement in small motor skills as we progress throughout the school year. We are learning that using a pencil to draw before we paint or color is called sketching. We are also learning that every time we draw we get a little bit better. Practice doesn't mean perfect. It means improvement. Using shapes and letters children are able to draw as they listen and watch teacher directions (oooooh...listening and following directions is an important school skill!)
Masterpiece Monday is an opportunity to introduce vocabulary. When students learn to draw a cupcake they learn adding lines creates 'texture' in their work.
See if your child can draw a gumball machine and cupcake at home!
