Food Collage
Food has emerged as a subject for artists for hundreds of years. It connects us to familiar routines, special celebrations, places traveled, and is delicious to look at!
Students will examine images in the exhibit, think of a meal that relates to them, paint textures on watercolor paper, and create a collage of cut paper. |
Explore Food in Art
This project was inspired by the 'Art and Appetite' exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. Watch the video of Wayne Thiebaud to see more examples of delicious paintings. |
