The look on the faces of the boys when I placed doughnuts in front of them was priceless, they were big fans to say the least.

I showed them some work created by Wayne Thiebaud to use for inspiration and then handed out the chalk pastels.

I encouraged them to add A LOT of white in their color choices, like Mr. Thiebaud does, and also brought out the color wheel to encourage them to make use of complimentary colors for shading and such.

We also discussed horizon lines and I showed them how it doesn't always have to be with the doughnut.

And how to use the same color for the background in two different values, using darker values for background and lighter for foreground.

Of course the best part was when they finished these delicious looking works of art, they got to eat it!
