I attended my son’s Middle School “Coffee House” (he sings with the Chorus) on Friday. His school is an Arts Magnate and the walls, window sills and most available spaces, are filled with phenomenal pieces of art, in a slew of mediums. As I reached the 3rd floor, I discovered an installation of 6th graders’ paper mache pop food-art. These kids are so talented and it’s interesting to see what foods inspire them. Interesting, but not so surprising, was that almost every piece was a local food icon. There were several paper mache po-boys, a shrimp cocktail, a plate of raw oysters with lemon wedges, and this box of Popeye’s fried chicken with a biscuit. How cool is that??
