Guiseppe Arcimboldo Fruit & Vegetable Faces

As the topic is healthy food we looked at the art work of Guiseppe Arcimboldo.

We watched a youtube cartoon about Guiseppe Arcimboldo, an Italian painter from the 1500's who painted portraits in a fun way as he painted fruit, vegetables and flowers to make up the faces and bodies.
Here is the link for the youtube video we watched. https://youtu.be/hrHZL8pp--M


I found a website were you can make fruit and vegetable faces on the computer. Here is the link for the website where you can create the faces online. http://www.middlestreet.org/archim/archimframe.htm

I couldn't see how to print the pictures we created so I took a photo of the screen.


I also cut out a cardboard head and shoulders and got some fruit and veg from the fridge (some of which was going past it's best) and Thomas created a fruit and vegetable collage portrait.

We had fun and the results were great.

We decided to do ours about football, but you could do it about any topic your child is interested in. One day we wrote down lots of words associated with football. Second day we wrote the poem. It was a joint effort. Third day we typed up the poem. We would love to see your poems so please share any you do.

We always make our own cards do we can cut out numbers, letters or objects to make personalised cards.
