One CA Visual Art Standard centers around how to create feelings with one’s own artwork. This book “How Are You Peeling?” is full of some very creative photographs of fruit and vegetables, all made to reflect a wide variety of emotions. Reading it first helps to make connections that certain shapes can look a lot like faces, when using one’s imagination.
1. I’ve collected some photographs of fruit and vegetables, the low resolution type that are free for comp making. You can download the 2-page file HERE. Print as many copies as needed on inkjet paper.
2. I recommend that the students start by choosing a large shape to make the head, then the body, legs, arms, and finally details on top.
3. After all the body parts are collected and laid out, they are glued down with a glue stick.
CA Arts Standard: Creative Expression.
2.5 Use lines in drawings and paintings to express feelings.

great book! i'm always looking for new visual aids! i love teaching about guiseppe arcimboldo and his fruit faces...the kids get so creative!!!
We love this book, the children are especially interested in how the photographer goes around the markets in New York looking for unusually shaped fruit - odd is good! Thanks for sharing a great art activity that we can use next time we read the text together.
After seeing this one, I downloaded the pictures and printed them out three times. The boys and I are going to do this project tomorrow. I am looking forward to it.
Keep the good ideas coming! I use your website always when looking for artwork.
Thank you!
