We’ve been inspired by food this week in the art room!  To help with our January 19 “Marco’s Pizza Night”, our artists have been designing pizza boxes.  Marco’s Pizza delivered a truckload of pizza boxes to the art room, and our artists are decorating the boxes this week.  The boxes will be returned to Marcos, and when parents order a pizza January 19, it will be delivered in….you got it….the pizza box designed by their own child.

This has been a fun project this last week before Christmas break, and I’ve been able to sneak a little bit of art appreciation into the project too – we’ve looked at other artists who use food as their inspiration, including Andy Warhol’s 100 Cans and Oldenberg’s Pie A La Mode.

Here we are with our Pizza Boxes!

Put it on your calendar – order a Marco’s Pizza on January 19, 2011, and receive it in a specially crafted box made by a famous artist – your own child!
