Our book of the week is, ‘I will not ever never eat a Tomato,’ by Lauren Child which got us talking about the fruits and vegetables that we already like to eat and those that we would like to try.
We looked closely at a painting by Giuseppe Arcimboldo* and talked about the fruits and vegetables that he had painted to create a painting of a face.
Later some of us sorted out all of the food in the home corner to find and name all of the fruits and vegetables.
Next we each created our own faces using the fruits and vegetables and talked about what we had used for the different facial features.
You could try making your own Arcimboldo face at home using real fruits and vegetables. Hopefully you will find some new ones that you would like to eat!
Please go to Google Classroom to take part in this week’s Home-School, link activity.
*The sixteenth century Italian artist, Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527 – 1593), is famous for his extraordinary series of portraits in which the facial features of his sitters are portrayed as arrangements of fruit, vegetables, flowers, fish and other objects.
