So I really love this weeks activity it made me feel like a kid. I think I should have planned ahead because I had no idea what to make so I just make little snowman looking people with faces and cereal hats. It took me quite a while to figure out what to make, how to make it and to actually put it all together took me a majority of the class.
I think with help kids in some of their fine motor skills while putting together their food art. Using those fine motor skills to put icing on the food, draw faces or just small details into their own art. I think it can also help children with critical thinking. Kids need to think about what they want to build and how to do it; this may involve trial and error to figure out what works best for their vision.
You can incorporate this in so many different subjects. One that I think is super cute is if you give kids like circular objects ,like fruits or crackers, then the students can color them and make them look like different planets so it would be a fun way to include this into science. Another one is when kids are older and learning about historical figured students can try to craft out what they think a specific person looks like with food.
I put a picture of what piece of art caught my attention the most. I think this was simple but it was so cool to me. I was a big reader as a kid and still enjoy it now so I think that is partially the reason why this is my favorite that I saw. The art piece again is simple so the only objects the artist used was a book and some ribbon throughout the book.
