As third grade has been working on their Giacometti paper mache sculptures, we want to keep in mind that they are based upon Alberto Giacometti's bronze sculptures. Giacometti was a 20th century sculpture who showed in both Paris and New York. We are so lucky that the Art Institute of Chicago has several of these sculptures in its permeant collection. Ms. Rizio went to do some research (and drink some coffee from Intelligentsia) while the third grade was working on this project. For size reference, your Art teacher is 5'4". Below are some finished paper mache sculptures in the hallway for comparison. My students sure did a great job!
