After a nice cup of tea, what could be nicer than something to eat?
Our theme for March is food - interpret this as you will. Although we've painted food in class many times over the years; eggs, cake, cookies etc. – this is your opportunity to explore your own relationship with food. You may have a particular food that brings you comfort or an important food related memory.
Perhaps you have a treasured recipe that you would like to illustrate for future generations or maybe you want to make a political statement about the food industry.
Studies of food are a great place to start – the wide range of textures and colours of food and its vessels are a challenge.
We live in a country famous for its cuisine – how do you think food and culture are linked? Are your 'comfort foods' linked to your earlier life/culture?
Lot's to think about but don't just think – draw, paint, record, evaluate and plan future projects!
