SLJ (W3/A26): Step it up Giuseppe Arcimboldo

 LI: To create a digital art as an example of Giuseppe Arcimboldo paintings.


The above screencastify is the sixth Step it up activity for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. I started this activity by seeing some portraits of the famous Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. After doing the research I noticed that he uses fruits and vegetables in his portraits and also has a specific combination of dull colors which makes the art look effective. The thing I found interesting was that Giuseppe Arcimboldo was very brave and wasn't scared to show the painting he made for the Emperor Rudolf II as things might have also gone the other way around. It was said that he was lucky enough as the king had a good sense of humour thus he ended up liking the painting. I also liked completing this activity because we were using our smart searching skills to learn from other artists and add it in our design. The thing I found tricky was pronouncing his name because it is in another language and is like a tongue twister. I am very excited to complete other tasks for the Summer Learning Journey as well.

  1. Kia ora Sakshi,

    Fiona here from the Summer Learning Journey. You have done a fantastic job creating a digital portrait inspired by the Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo and using Screencastify to share your work. Ka pai! I love the way you have used such a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in your portrait to make it look so interesting.

    I really enjoyed reading your writing about how brave Giuseppe was to present his artwork to the Emperor, and that the Emperor had a good sense of humour! I didn't know this so thank you for teaching me. You have excellent research skills!

    Keep up the fantastic mahi, Sakshi.

    Mā te wā,
    Fiona (SLJ).
