Our first Art to Start of 2025
Today, we made our own fruit faces.... and we got to eat them too!
This term, our new topic ‘Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds’ involves learning about how to keep ourselves healthy and happy! For our Art to Start, we explored the works of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, an Italian artist who used fruit, vegetables and other objects in his art, looking at different portraits he created from seasonal foods!
Inspired by these and by our growing knowledge of what a portrait is from our Art lessons, we used fresh fruit and vegetables to create our own self-portraits in the style of Arcimboldo! Take a look at us in action! Best of all, we got to eat our work after and try some unfamiliar vegetables like radishes, celery and peppers!
