As part of our learning about Autumn we have looked at some of the work of the artist Arcimboldo. We looked closely at his “Autumn” portrait 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 painting of “Autumn”:
Reagyn: that’s awesome. I can see leaves and they’ve got berries joined on – it’s like tadpole eggs.
Logan: it’s a funny face ’cause it’s got fruit.
Roxy: there’s leaves and it’s like they’re falling off the tree like Autumn.
Lexi: he’s got an apple face
Rebecca: I think it’s funny ’cause he did it all himself.
Darcy: there’s a pumpkin on his face.
The children were very enthusiastic to make their own Arcimboldo style portraits. We hope that you enjoy our Arcimboldo gallery.
