Residents
at Huron County Medical Care Facility attended an “Art and Appetizer”
party in celebration of the November Encore Paint and Sculpture program.
The table was set to resemble a still life piece of art with vibrant
fruits and appetizers.
Much
like the trendy Wine and Painting parties, residents learned about
famous artists who used food as their artistic subjects. The residents
then completed a painting project and enjoyed appetizers while their
“paint dried”! The completed projects became table centerpieces for a
special Encore meal the following week.
Many
residents were proud to be a part of their dining décor and were very
excited about the meal after learning interesting facts about our two
featured artists, Claes Oldenberg and Frida Kahlo.
The
meal featured Tilapia Vera Cruz and Cheese Enchiladas which were items
that Frida was known to prepare for many of her special dinner parties.
For dessert the residents were treated to either a bowl or cherries or a
“dropped” cone in honor of some of Claes Oldenberg’s sculptures.
