Foods from Spain
(10th
July - 12th September 2010)
London
International Gallery of Children's Art, in collaboration
with Foods from Spain, is proud to present this exhibition
of collages by British primary school children on the subject
of fresh fruit and vegetables from Spain.
The
bright and lively collages were created by classes from years
three to six from around the UK as part of a nationwide Spanish
Embassy initiative to promote healthy eating to children.
The exhibition features a selection of the best collages from
more than 200 entries sent by schools as part of Foods from
Spain's fourth National Primary Schools Competition. Since
its launch in 2007 classes have produced hundreds of vibrant
collages; this year sees entries that are as creative as ever
with children, some of whom with disabilities or learning
difficulties, using imaginative materials like boxes, dried
produce, and magazines and newspapers to showcase 5-a-day
themes.
Director
of Foods from Spain, Maria Jose Sevilla said of the Spanish
Embassy initiative:
We're delighted to be running the National Primary Schools
Competition for the fourth year running. A recent survey by
the British Nutrition Foundation suggested that children eat
less than half of their five portions of fruit and vegetables
every day, so Foods from Spain has been thrilled by interest
in healthy diets generated by the competition. We've had some
excellent entries in the past and we're sure that this year
will be no exception.
This
will be the fourth year that London International Gallery
of Children's Art has exhibited the best collages from the
National Primary Schools Competition.
