Reception: Art

April 29, 2022
To link in with our new reading book, ‘The Enormous Turnip’, Reception have been learning about Giuseppe Arcimboldo. He was an Italian artist who created images using fruits, vegetables and other living things.  

We have been inspired by Arcimboldo to create portraits using different fruits and vegetables.
