Course Description

In this five-session course, we’re going to learn about Wayne Thiebaud and his work, and create a cupcake art that is inspired by his work and style.

At the start of each class, a summary of what we covered the session prior will be discussed and any questions will be answered before moving onto new material. It is imperative that the student doesn't miss a class because there will be info given that won't be on the Canva presentation, and I will be doing a demo in session 3. Students will be taking notes that they'll have for the future and will be assigned homework to complete in order for the instructor to ensure that they understand what they’re learning, and finish their project on time.

Pen and paper for taking notes
Ruler
9 x 12 plain drawing paper (from a sketchbook is acceptable)
Drawing pencil – Any B or H pencil will work
Pink Pearl eraser
