Following the August break, Culinary Artist Wendy Smawley, lectured
on food art during the Welcome Back Day festivities. Twenty
students, invited to engage in an experiential lecture project,
learned various ways to incorporate food into art.
After students saw various pictures of food art, they experimented
with their inner food artist by sculpting lard, which holds a butter-like
consistency that is similar to well-worked clay. The lecture
taught the students a great deal about culinary art, and they really
seemed to enjoy the activities.
Hidden Lake Academy Art Teacher, Pepper Arnold said, “It
was a pleasure to have Wendy lecture and teach us about food, food
preparation and display. Wendy discussed some very interesting
facts about food art, such as did you know TV commercials spray motor
oil on meat such as hamburgers to make it look more appealing to
the consumer?” |
