About the event
The Artist's Plate
A 2-hour Mixed media
Your students are already drawn to food, so let that curiosity open the door. Use it as a bridge to art history, identity, and everyday storytelling, from street food stalls to Sunday dinners. Join an intimate group and explore food as a powerful lens for narrative, moving well beyond the traditional still life.
The Toolkit (included)
A Slide Deck: A curated collection of diverse food-based art from the Renaissance to today.
The Process-Based Project: A framework for a collage, print making and drawing project adaptable for all grades.
