The last project of the 2nd trimester was a dessert-themed project where kids used celluclay to create texture somewhere on their dessert. They reviewed what the difference is between actual and visual texture by looked at examples. They studied the artist Wayne Thiebaud that was well known for his dessert-themed creations. I demonstrated how to use celluclay, which is basically a mixture of paper pulp and glue. I told the kids to pick a dessert that has a memory or story attached to it. Some kids chose desserts that their grandma makes every holiday while other chose the dessert that they constantly crave. We ended this project by having a dessert and tea party.
