Arcimboldo is not an easy name to trip off your tongue when you\u2019re three or four years old but our children tried very hard to say the name of the famous artist as we learned a little about his work.<\/p>\n

We made the long journey upstairs in school so that we could see his works of art on the interactive whiteboard. \u201cSummer\u201d and \u201cAutumn\u201d were of particular interest as we have been learning about Autumn. The children were certainly amused by his use of food in these portraits and many commented on what they saw.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Caleb:<\/span>\u00a0 I like the \u201cSummer\u201d one\u00a0best \u2018cause it\u2019s very juicy.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Eleanor:\u00a0<\/span> They\u2019re all summery and fruity and vegetabley.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Jaylin: <\/span>I like them. It\u2019s funny.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

McKenzie:<\/span>\u00a0 I like the ears on the \u201cAutumn\u201d one.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Zak:<\/span>\u00a0 I like the grapes very much.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Back in Nursery, we decided to make our own portraits using food which was great fun. We hope you like\u00a0these examples from our display.<\/p>\n
