16th Century Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo liked to create portraits that were incredible visual "jokes". From a distance his paintings look like a slightly strange person...but up close you see it actually an incredible display of detailed fruits, flowers, even fish! An artist working today, Philip Haas, makes giant 3D sculptures inspired by Arcimboldo's masterpieces. Ask your parents if you can try making an elaborate food portrait...then, if you're still feeling creative, make a painting of it!
