My consumption in a days time


Today's food and beverage consumption consisted of: Breakfast~ 1 cup of coffee and 1 juice box, Lunch~ 1 juice box and a veggie sandwich, Dinner~ 1 piece of fish, 1 serving of steamed broccoli and water.



Honestly, I didn't think I could fit everything I consumed on one page! To my surprise I accomplished the task. I really enjoyed this assignment because all day I paid attention to what I was eating and drinking (which I normally do not do). I really like how the white colored pencil looks on the black paper. For some reason people normally draw on white paper so this was nice to see and create. This assignment is valuable to me because not only was I paying attention to my diet but I was creating art. This would be a great assignment for my future classroom to create awareness for healthy eating habits and engaging in an authentic art assignment. I could have students create drawings such as this one in a folder of everything they consume on a daily basis while incorporating lessons on art technique and even health.
