Integrating math in art is always a fun twist! 3rd grade students are learning about place value in math...thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. To create artwork with this concept we talked about the artist Wayne Thiebaud who makes paintings of yummy desserts!...sometimes 15 cakes in one painting! We chose a 4-digit number to begin- for example: 4,635. The thousands place equaled a cake, the hundreds place equaled a pie, the tens place equaled an ice cream cone, and the ones equaled a cupcake! The artwork is made up of these images according to the number they chose. Delicious!View the entire gallery of artwork at:
