Anatomy Lesson | The New Food Pyramid

The one book I didn't find to add to our main lesson block was a book on nutrition. They are out there! But the ones I found in abundance were either lifestyle nutrition books like going vegan, keto or carnivore, or ones related to weight-loss or anti-inflammatory diets or books that were similar. The nutrition books I did find seemed to be college textbooks and were outside our budget. So when these lessons came about which focused on food, bread, food quality and drugs, alcohol and caffeine, I didn't have a suitable additional resource to supplement our lesson. However, Food Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of Our Edible World by Julia Rothman  turned out to be an amazing late addition to our unit. We used this book for nearly all the illustration inspiration for this lesson and I'm so pleased with how the illustration turned out. One thing though...I wanted this lesson to be quick and easy and it wasn't! The illustration took over 2 hours and that was not my intention at all. To simplify it for my daughter, I asked to draw just 2-3 items per food group. When it comes to main lesson book illustrations, they should not exceed about 30 minutes. Any longer than that and you can expect that the illustration will be too detailed or involved which in some cases diminishes the effectiveness of an artistic lesson expression.
