Lesson One
Day One, Art Start
1. Six Lollipops (1964) Wayne Thiebaud
2. Read Oliver's Lollipop by Allison Wortche
3. Discussion Questions "Have you ever seen a scene like this? What seems unusual about it? What do you see? What types of lollipops are there? Where are these lollipops? How are the lollipops displayed? How is the painting drawn? How can you tell? What is the painting about? What is happening in the picture? What is the mood here? Why do you say that? How hungry are you? Which fraction or fractions represent this lollipop? How many layers does this lollipop consist of? Which of the choices below are the smallest lollipops? What types of lollipops do you like? what is the shape of your lollipop? How would you decorate your lollipop? What colors are used for this type of lollipop?"
Lesson Activities

How are these displayed? How is the painting made? How can you tell? What is the painting about? What is happening? What is the mood here? Why do you say that?"
