Students from the Clare-Gladwin Career Center’s Culinary Arts
and Graphic Arts programs teamed up this month to teach students from the
Clare-Gladwin Area School about basic color theory.
The career and technical education (CTE) students used
cupcakes, icing, and food coloring to share their lesson with the kids in
Rachel DuMond’s Area School class. The local high school juniors and seniors
demonstrated how to make different colors by mixing icing and food coloring.
After the cupcakes were decorated with the appropriate color, the treats were
formed into two color wheels, offering a visual way for the Area School
students to learn the basic color theory.
"Getting
to frost cupcakes with the kids was a rewarding experience,” said Graphic Arts
student Kaitlyn Corell. “The best part of the whole day was getting to eat the
cupcakes with the kids and seeing the joy on their faces.”
Culinary
Arts and Graphic Arts are two of nine career and technical education
programs offered to local high school juniors and seniors through the
Clare-Gladwin Career Center, a program of Clare-Gladwin RESD. Students spend
half of their school day at their CTE class and the other half at their local
high school.
