The Kitchen Art Studio

Description

This new book in the Learning to See series turns the familiar appeal not to play with one's food on its head and encourages readers to look at their groceries in a new way--as objects that can be turned into art. Author Peter Jenny makes sculpture out of broccoli, puts cherry stems into attractive rows, and is inspired by piles of cups or broken pieces of glass. Under his direction readers will see the everyday objects of their kitchens in a new and imaginary way.
