Col·legi Manjón Education Palma Balears, Illes

The second year Primary students used natural foods to paint still lifes in art education class.

Carrots, beets, spinach, turmeric and cocoa become creative tools for us little artists. We demonstrated our talent and creativity by using foods such as carrots, beets, spinach, turmeric and cocoa to paint our own still lifes. The initiative, driven by the art teacher, aims to promote the use of natural materials in educational activities.

We have been enthusiastic about the proposal, we have experimented with the possibilities offered by these foods, both in terms of color and texture. In addition to promoting creativity and critical thinking, the activity served as an opportunity to learn about the benefits of food and how to use it in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
