This week, Reception have been learning all about the famous artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo and exploring his amazing artwork! We looked closely at how he used different fruits and vegetables to create unique portraits of people.

The children then had lots of fun creating their very own self-portraits inspired by Giuseppe Arcimboldo, using a variety of fruits and vegetables to make their faces! We loved seeing everyone’s wonderful and imaginative creations!
