A simple plate of Panda Express is pure art on multiple levels. The dish itself is an interpretation of the world. A subtle mixture of rice and chow mean create a vivacious assortment of color and texture. The shifts in shade of brown throughout the piece create an earthly effect. The dashes of green vegetables include the aspect of life in this still work of art. The pees were once a part of a living and breathing system of life but now the single seeds are left to branch on their own. They have found their own paths in life. The beef are the crevices and curves of the earth while the broccoli is the natural clothing of the planet. Because the piece is created of food, a second direct sense can be affected. The taste of the food in itself is an interpretation of art. The different meats and wheat’s bring a diverse sensation of flavors within each bite. The flavor is a symbolism of the different styles of people and emotions felt across the planet. The flavors are the soul of the earth; a soul created by the living being found within its presence. When mixed together the context within this Chinese style of food creates a beautiful canvas of the planet Earth.
The importance of this excersize is the to come to the realization that almost anything can be viewed as art. Art is in the eye of the beholder.
