To All,
Here's your party tip. Arrange your fruit in a centerpiece according to whatever combination of representational, found, and abstract art appeals to your aesthetic sense. Your admiring guests will soon have their phones out taking pictures. News of your party will flash around the Internet. You might go viral.
One of the Fruit Explorer themes has been the discovery of art in fruit. Below is a collection of fruit pictures (all from the Internet) that illustrates various categories of art.
- Representational art: You see the kiwi turtle, kiwi swans, star fruit face, lychee nut frog, lychee nut face, blueberry and strawberry Union Jack, dog wearing a Carmen Miranda hat, a bat (or some other monster) made of multiple jack fruits, a bird inside a dragon fruit, and fingernail art (kiwi, dragon fruit, and generalized).
- Found art: You see art naturally arising in kiwi, star fruit, fuyu, and a jack fruit face.
- Abstract art: You see abstract works created by humans out of kiwi, a combination of kiwi and strawberry (plus other unidentified fruits), what might be a jack fruit, a combination of dragon fruit, kiwi, strawberry, and raspberry, a dragon fruit kaleidoscope, and dragon fruit fashion.
Based on this small sample, the kiwi and dragon fruit are the main contenders for the title of the world's artiest fruit. Check out http://fineartamerica.com/art/all/dragon+fruit/all for a site that sells for fancy prices what it claims to be 350 pieces of dragon fruit art. (A week ago it was 346 pieces; this is apparently an area in which fruit is actively inspiring creativity.) To create your own kiwi fingernails, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w86hSfqA6rg. If you want to learn how to cut a kiwi into a lotus flower, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruIgt_RBFso; this will lead you to videos that show how to create similar art works from other fruits.
