In this lesson as a class we watch a few video clips of ace of cakes. We discuss how even cake can be art and the many forms of jobs that fall into the artistic category. We talk about how Duff, from ace of cakes uses his creativity to think outside of the box; a key element in our art room. We then look for inspirations from artist Wayne Thiebaud and discuss how he used cakes and candy as his main subject matter.
On black construction paper, Students create and elipse shape to start then fill in as a cylider. They may make multiple tears, but tears should get smaller as they go up. Students are to add a cake plate and stand to accompany the cake. Students then add decorations. Warn them not to make too small of decorations as oil pastels will be hard to fill in tiny lettering or details. Students then use oil pastels to decorate their cake giving it an icing feel. Student may follow up with a short story or poem using describing words to tell the tale of thier delicious cakes.
