In this fun class, students will look at artwork created by the famous artist Wayne Thiebaud. We will dissect his style, and discuss what makes a painting identifiable as a Thiebaud and unique from other artists. In particular, his repetitive compositions—as well as his use of bright colors and blue-hued shadows—will be examined. Then, students will create one or more drawings of their own in Thiebaud's style using their observations of his art: Time will be set aside for the students to complete a base pencil drawing (outlines of visual prompts or other objects the students may have thought up) and, depending on the student's progress, fill in the drawing with color and details. The students will be shown reference photos of cake, cupcakes, and ice cream to draw from, although they can also use their imagination to create unique compositions. Some artists will finish one composition, others will complete more—and that's okay! I encourage each artist to work at their own pace. Finally, no matter what their level of completion, each student will share their drawing near the end of the class! Some students may draw faster than others, and that's okay—students will have at least enough time to create a base drawing that they can fill in with color and details after class if need be.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
My name is Troy E. Wilderson. I am an instructor who is equally passionate about creative writing and art, and I’ve made a career of doing both.
I teach a range of creative classes for a variety of ages. I am passionate about poetry, literary fiction, genre fiction, and the fine arts. I also enjoy pop culture, music, and film, especially when their study crosses paths with art and writing. My courses include How to Write an Ekphrastic Poem, How to Draw Like Keith Haring, How to Draw Like Modigliani, How to Draw Like Roy Lichtenstein, How to Draw Like Wayne Thiebaud, How to Draw an Abstract Portrait, How to Write a Short Story, and my super creative Creating and Drawing an Underground World.
I am a published author. My writing has been published in the following publications: The Ekphrastic Review, Crack the Spine Anthology XVII, The Louisville Review, the Tishman Review, the Roanoke Review, The Notre Dame Review, and F(r)iction.
I have worked with students ages eight to eighteen as a certified substitute teacher. I earned my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Spalding University. I also earned my Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from Macalester College and my Associates of Arts in Graphic Design from Pratt Institute.
As a writing and art instructor, my primary goal is to fully engage with the students and have them learn in a fun way. Having students learn a new skill or use their talent through my creative outlets are the reason I enjoy teaching. My interactive technique ensures a pleasurable experience for all of my students. My hope is that my enthusiasm for art and writing is infectious.
Outside of writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, playing Scrabble, and going to museums and plays.
