Giuseppe Arcimboldo inspires a class to make their own food face art!

Giuseppe Arcimboldo painting using fruits and vegetables to make the face Artsology's presentation of a gallery of unusual paintings by Guiseppe Arcimboldo, a 16th century Italian painter, inspired a group of students in Ottawa, Canada, to create their own "portraits" using fruits and vegetables. The class teacher contacted Artsology about their project, and we are happy to share their creativity with you here!
