We read two books together in the classroom this week: Time to Make Art by Jeff Mack and The Artivist by Nikkolas Smith. We discussed how almost anything can be a medium for art, including food, and how the art we make can help to change the world.
In the kitchen classroom, the kindergarten chefs made salad art with cutting boards as their canvas. First we prepped all of our ingredients, then we got to work. The artists were challenged to use at least six ingredients and to try a food they might not have tried before. No two works ended up looking or feeling the same! In our closing circle, we each shared our favorite ingredient; the fusilli pasta, the strawberries, and the golden beets got the most love.
