As part of our learning about Autumn, we have looked at some of the work of the artist Arcimboldo. We looked at his portraits of “Summer” and “Autumn” to see how he used food to depict the seasons as faces then we used food to make our own portraits. Here are some our comments on Arcimboldo’s paintings. Examples of our own work will follow soon.
Katie: I like the Autumn one. I like the potato.
Liam: an artist makes pictures. I like the “Summer” Arcimboldo picture best ’cause he’s smiling on his picture.
Abbi: I like the leaves on the “Autumn” one.
Hayden: I like the “Autumn” one. His nose is funny.
Nate: the artist’s called Arcimboldo. The pumpkin is funny on his head.
Emily: I like the cherries on the picture.
Adam: I like the “Summer” one. I like all the stuff that’s hiding in his hair.
Olivia: I like the “Autumn” one. The “Summer” one looks colder.
