What cereal does Rosado use to create her portraits?
Rosado uses cornflakes. She thought of the idea whilst she was eating music and listening to her oldies and R&B Music.

Why does it take so long to create each master piece? 
It takes Rosado 5 hours for each masterpiece because she has to sketch the image of the artist, then begins the most annoying, painstaking process. Rosado then proceeds to crush the cereal to the right size so that it can be places to the outline of the sketch. Once she's done the outline, she can then start shaping the artist's features with a pin.

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

Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Alicia Keys and former Beatle, John Lennon. In 2013, Rosado unveiled her artwork made completely out of dirt. The picture show was a masterpiece of a girl, swinging off a tree.

Critical Thinking
Why do you think the artist picked Cornflakes and not any other cereal? Can you think of any other everyday food that could be used to create art.

Maybe just because she was eating corn flakes at the time. Maybe it's just an easier material to use, unlike some other foods.
A good food for art in my opinion would be raisins or something small and easy to break apart and work with. I know from experience that it's much easier when something just... Glides across your paper.

Who Knew Corn Flakes Could Looks So Good?
