Alberto Giacometti Sculptures Using Natural Adhesive and Recycled Paper

Alberto Giacometti was a clay and bronze cast sculptor who created a certain style
of sculptures. He molded tall, thin human - like characters.

Students first used rolled up pieces of newspaper and tape to create the body of the sculpture. To hold the pieces together and give it strength, students covered strips of newspaper with wheat paste, a natural adhesive.

Once dry, we painted the sculptures.

Some were thinkers.

Some wore bright colors.

Some were dancers.

Some looked like they could walk.
