Wednesday 3rd June. LO: To produce an Giuseppe Arcimboldo inspired portrait. In our ‘What’s Cooking?’ project this term we are learning about being and staying healthy! As we know, we should be eating a range of colourful fruit and vegetables to keep us healthy and keep our bodies working properly! We love eating many different fruit and veggies, but an artist that loved using them in his art was an Italian artist called… Giuseppe Arcimboldo Name: Giuseppe Arcimboldo Born: 1527 (nearly 500 years ago!) What did he paint? Imaginative portraits using mostly food! Interestingly, he would pick food that had a connection to whatever he was painting. For example, when creating a picture of autumn he used fruits and vegetables that grew in autumn. Your Challenge: Create your very own Arcimboldo inspired portrait. Produce your portrait anyway you would like, but make sure it features healthy fruit and veggies. You could paint your portrait, produce a simple drawing or use real fruit and veggies! Enjoy looking at more of Arcimboldo’s work on the next pages to inspire you further!
