FOODscapes!

In art, Hedgehogs have studied an artist called Carl Warner. We found out that he creates lots of different 'landscapes made from healthy foods. He prompts healthy eating through his art work. Year 2 were amazed by his creations. When we looked at his artwork, we found that he used broccoli for trees, different fruit as hot air balloons and even bread for mountains. Hedgehogs were so impressed and also very inspired.

Hedgehogs were excellent at this and had some brilliant ideas when creating their own versions. They thought of blueberries for the river, candy floss for clouds and runner beans for grass. Miss Hall was very impressed. Some of the class decided to just make pictures from pasta and they were great too! Have a sneak peak below…
