Who Knew Corn Flakes Could Look So Good?


What cereal does Rosado use to create her portraits?

Decided to pick cereal or to be more precise corn flakes, for her creations. The 30-year-old says that the inspiration to create artist portraits from grains of corn flakes hit her while she was eating breakfast, which comprised of well . . . corn flakes, and listening to oldies and R&B music. She also does some with dirt.

Why does it take so long to create each masterpiece?
Because she draws a picture hand made of the people then begins the painstaking process of crushing the cereal to the right size.  Once that is done, she uses a pin to carefully shape the nose, eyes and mouth so they look realistic . It takes her 4 Hours to do.

Name some celebrities that have featured in her cereal art series. What kind of art did Rosando unveil in 2013.

Michel Jackson ( king of pop ), Alicia Keys, Bob Marley John Lennon. I think she picked these people because they are very famous and lots of people know them. She also did a art work of a girl swinging on a chair thats connected to the tree. It is a beautiful piece of art work and it would have taken her forever to do because if she moves her hand the dirt it would smudge.


Critical Thinking 
Why do you think that artist picked Corn Flakes and not any other cereal? 
She got inspiration to create artist portraits from grains of corn flakes hit her while she was eating breakfast, which comprised of well . . . corn flakes, and listening to oldies and R&B music.

Can you think of any other everyday food that could be used to create art?
It would be really cool if she used chocolate, Marshmallows, Coloured Pencil shavings and Rice
