V.T102

Food Collage

Students will begin by answering four assessment questions. Students will then participate in a group discussion about three famous works of art. For the performance task, the students will begin by discussing the many kinds of food they have experienced in their lives. For their individual projects, each student will choose one food item containing multiple parts that he or she can depict as separate ingredients, using construction paper that will eventually be combined to create the finished food collage.

This item has been voluntarily field-tested by Michigan teachers with a non-representative sample of students.
