Food as Art #1

A Feast Food and Art

In the article, Barilla: Celebrating the Role of Food in Film, Art, and Literature, the author describes about Barilla's passion of food art. She tries to inspire food in art by using specific art tools such as movies, pictures and books. Also, her passion about food and art is expressed in various ways. By celebrating The Barilla Feast, we can share her interest and passion of food art not only professional artist also common people. According to another source explaining Barill, she says "To eat does not mean only feed yourself, it means also to love yourself." Also, she adds "To cook is way to develop relationship, it is a curiosity and it is entertainment. It is a culture." She regards food as human's art activities not only an instinct for survival. Even if eating and cooking is really common so that we can face on the food almost every day, she thinks those are creative art activity.
In my opinion, people who cook some food are part of art even if someone says only the food which has great looks can be part of art. By cooking and eating together, we can learn how to share my happiness with others. That is a social interaction and that could be socialization. That is making relationship with others is one of the art activities. In art, there are lots of creations and passions. If we can have emotion and feeling to make food, that means we are already doing performance art.
