ChiTech Chefs: A Recipe Exploration
Food has always been an incredibly important part of our lives. Not only do we need it to stay alive, but our social habits often revolve around it. Our days are structured around meals. Our positive interactions with friends and family often involve enjoying food together. Food can have significant impacts on our lives in the long term as well on both a micro and macro scale. For this project, history and art students collaborated to create a collection of shared recipes, photographs, written work, illustrations, and drawings to document the daily habits we have around food. Students discussed how visual media impacts our food choices and the importance of cooking. Students documented the daily rituals that are centered around food and create artwork that will add to the story of our personal recipes.
