As you can see the art activity is quite open, children can create faces or shapes from fruits and vegetables, or they can make their still life creations using printing techniques with sponges. It is interesting taking pictures of the process as it is very funny for the children and more rewarding than seeing the final result. Before the activity you can explain who was Arcimboldo
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Arcimboldo), what is a still life... It is also important that they perceive the use of food as art, not as a toy, we are not playing with food, we are using something that is good for our health in an artistic or spiritual way, to conect with food somehow and to become aware of how important it is four us to follow a healthy diet.
