Year 2 have been looking at the work of the 16th Century Italian artist Guiseppe Arcimboldo – a painter best known for creating some incredibly imaginative portrait heads made entirely of objects such as fruit, vegetables, flowers, fish and books. This week, Year 2 took on the challenge of creating a portrait in the style of Arcimboldo, making it entirely from food!
I think you will agree that their works of art are just as imaginative and incredible as the man’s himself!
Well done Year 2!
