Art and Craft!

WARM UP

Review of the interactive tour in order to reinforce what they have already experienced

(in addition, this activity is meant to enable the pupils to get familiar with Arcimboldo).

Viewing of the videos.

ACTIVITIES

ART-n°1

Pupils analyse two of Arcimboldo's paintings to find out differences and similarities, distinguishing different types of food and producing a drawing following the teacher's instructions. In groups students identify vegetables and fruit, create a painting and check their communication in English. They can use different types of coloring techniques (pointillism, plain colour, swung dash, etc.), then they organize all drawings in a personal and creative composition.

ART-n°2

Teachers check the images and clippings each pupil has found in the magazines about their favourite food.

Presentation of the function to ask and express one's favourite food:

What' s your favourite food? My favourite food is.....

using speaking and work in pairs.

Children paste the images (not more than 3/4) on a paper plate and create a personal composition; after that they organize all the dishes in a creative poster.

ASSESSMENT

Works in pair. Speaking in pairs about creative compositions of posters: Arcimboldo's Food - What's your favourite food - Food Pyramid.
