ART: Visual Arts Remote Lesson. Food Landscape Challenge

Students will be able to use food-based objects as a starting point for an artistic landscape design.

Supplies:

student supplied food objects for reference

crayons, markers or pens

blank paper (preferred) or whatever materials you have available

For other inspiration, look at the works of Carl Warner, who builds landscapes from everyday food objects.  To create a similar technique, now watch the video Foodscapes about Carl’s process.  These are great examples!  Regardless of the examples viewed, students will create a simple drawing where they turn their food objects into a new landscape creation through drawing and color. 

https://youtu.be/2P_AAky578o?si=ea_Pkl30HXRi79rX

The goal of this assignment is to turn food objects into the start of a larger compositional drawing. With the objects drawn on the paper, in the proper place for design, if possible, please take a photograph of your completed work and email the design to me. mwinstead@voyageracademt.net  If you are able, you could bring in the completed landscape drawing to the classroom next week to turn in.  

Math:  Both classes have Khan Academy lessons to complete for the hurricane day.  Look in Google Classroom for more information.  You also have your weekly homework to complete if you have not done so already.

The Math 1 Retake will be given next week.
