Shade and Tint Gum Ball Machines with Wayne Thiebaud

DISCUSSION: How do we make colors lighter

pink, clouds, light

Tint adding white to colors

How do we make colors darker?

Black: shadows, shade

Shade: adding black to colors

When light hits an object it becomes lighter

If an object has no light it is darker

ARTIST: Wayne Thiebaud 

(born November 15, 1920) 

He is an American painter 

whose most famous works are of cakes, pastries, boots, toilets, toys and lipsticks. 

He is associated with the Pop art movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture,

 although his 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

well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work.
