Edible Art



As part of their Unit of Inquiry into "How we share the planet", Our World of Plants, students in Class 2i created pictures out of fruits and vegetables. Read about their work on each student's blog.

Before the start of this lesson, children were invited to try and guess what they would be doing in art. They were given some clues; that they would not use pencils, paint or crayons; that there would be no need for paper, scissors or glue; that they might even get to nibble their work along the way....

I love the creative way in which everyone used the different vegetables and fruits. Who would have imagined fennel slices for a smiley mouth or celery leaves for hair? And who would have imagined what we would get to eat the following day for our lunch? Click on the link to ART SOUP......
