Final Project: Food Art

For our last project we had to use food to convey meaning. For my project I used vegetables to make a human body. The idea behind my art is you are what you eat. In this case, it is literally what we eat since all of the vegetables are from the Great Room. While eating the body you could pick up any of the "bones" or body parts and dip it in the head (a dish of ranch dressing). I think the idea of using food to make art is interesting and relates well to our theme of time because this type of art cannot last forever. This was one of the challenges when creating this piece because I could not do it too far ahead of time. If I were to do this project again I would make it bigger, more intricate. I think it would be interesting to make just a skeleton and then to also make a model of what a human looks like from the outside.
