OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE : The child will learn to create faces using cut out images of fruits and vegetables. The Arcimboldo activity is inspired by 19 th century Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Arcimboldo created portraits made entirely from individual objects such as fruit, vegetables, books, and flowers. The child will practice appropriately arranging fruits and vegetable features to create faces. The objects are arranged following the basic principles of facial configuration. For example, two olives may represent the eyes. The olives, like the eyes on a face, are placed equal distance apart above the nose. The child is encouraged to be creative; yet still following the basic principles of facial configuration. That is, there should be: Two eyes (equal distance apart) above the nose A mouth beneath the nose Ears on either side of the face

GOAL:GOAL:  The  goal  of  this  activity  is  to  teach  the  child  how  the  features  of  the  face  (i.e.  the  nose,  mouth,  eyes)  form  a  spatial  arrangement.    OBJECTIVEOBJECTIVE ::  The  child  will  learn  to  create  faces  using  cut  out  images  of  fruits  and  

vegetables.  The  Arcimboldo  activity  is  inspired  by  19th  century  Italian  artist  Giuseppe  Arcimboldo.  Arcimboldo  created  portraits  made  entirely  from  individual  objects  such  as  fruit,  vegetables,  books,  and  flowers.  The  child  will  practice  appropriately  arranging  fruits  and  vegetable  features  to  create  faces.  The  objects  are  arranged  following  the  basic  principles  of  facial  configuration.  For  example,  two  olives  may  represent  the  eyes.  The  olives,  like  the  eyes  on  a  face,  are  placed  equal  distance  apart  above  the  nose.  The  child  is  encouraged  to  be  creative;  yet  still  following  the  basic  principles  of  facial  configuration.  That  is,  there  should  be:    

• Two  eyes  (equal  distance  apart)  above  the  nose  • A  mouth  beneath  the  nose  • Ears  on  either  side  of  the  face

MATERIALS  MATERIALS   :  :  Downloadable  fruit  and  vegetable  cut  outs,  scissors,  and  glue        

PROCEDURE:  PROCEDURE:          Step  1:  Cut  out  Desired  Fruit  Pieces    We  have  provided  a  number  of  fruit  and  vegetable  images  for  the  child  to  work  with.  However,  the  child  may  also  draw  and  colour  some  of  their  own  fruit/vegetable  pieces.  Also,  the  child  may  like  to  cut  fruit/vegetable  pieces  from  a  magazine.    Step  2:  Glue  –  Understanding  Facial  Configuration    In  the  2nd  step,  the  child  must  use  pieces  of  fruits  and  vegetables  to  create  a  face.  The  child  can  select,  for  example,  lemons  to  represent  eyes,  a  banana  for  a  nose,  and  a  pea  pod  for  the  mouth.  The  child  must  arrange  the  fruits  and  vegetables  following  the  basic  principles  of  facial  configuration.  The  child  can  glue  the  pieces  onto  a  piece  of  coloured  construction  paper  or  a  poster  board.      

BONUS:  MASTERY    

Have  the  child  try  to  convey  emotion  in  their  face  (i.e.  upside-­‐down  banana  for  a  frown).  Conversely,  have  the  child  use  a  different  group  of  objects  such  as  flowers,  books,  furniture,  cars,  pastries,  or  anything  else  they  can  think  of.  The  objects  can  be  cut  from  a  magazine  or  drawn  by  the  child  themselves.
