What is the Delicious Delights Box?
From fantastic fruit to divine desserts, these delicious art projects look to artists old and new for inspiration and education. Food has always played a role in art: Stone Age cave painters used vegetable juice and animal fats as binding ingredients in their paints, and the Egyptians carved pictures of crops and bread on hieroglyphic tablets.
In this box experiment with ice cream sundae paintings, create your very own fruit and veg faces, learn about still life, and make fast food and divine desserts sculptures!
