This week in the classroom we discussed the importance of creativity and art to our health and to the health of our community. We read Time to Make Art by Jeff Mack and agreed that we can make art with any medium and that art doesn’t have to be any which way to have meaning and make an impact.
In the kitchen we made art from salad fixings. The kindergarten chefs prepped different colorful ingredients, then each got a blank cutting board on which to get creative. When we finished the artistic process, those who wanted it got a sprinkling of salt and freshly ground pepper and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Everyone was encouraged to try two new things; many chefs discovered they enjoy raw golden beets or blood orange for the first time.
