Our Art topic this term is learning about the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, born in Italy in 1527. He is best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish and books.
Last week, the children were given a bowl of fruit and vegetables and were tasked with recreating Arcimboldo's famous portrait of Vertumnus. The children worked collaboratively selecting the foods to create facial features. They worked extremely well and no two portraits were the same!
Over the next few weeks, the children will be recreating other portraits.
Well done, Year 2! Keep up the creativity!
