This week, students revisited the American artist Wayne Thiebaud. We looked to Mr. Thiebaud's gumball painting. This project is aimed at students of all levels. Tracing templates to create shapes; plates and buttons or pennies, using a ruler, or getting creative by filling the gumball machine with sometime wackier than gumballs! Have some fun with this project, get colorful, and creative!
![]() Inspiration Wayne Thiebaud (b.1920) is an American painter known for his colorful works depicting commonplace objects—pies, lipsticks, paint cans, ice cream cones, pastries, and hot dogs—as well as for his landscapes and figure paintings. Thiebaud is associated with the pop art movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture, although his early works, executed during the fifties and sixties, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists. Thiebaud uses heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects, and the well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work.
