Giacometti Duct tape style

Here are some examples of our recent project where we studied Alberto Giacometti.  We decided to do the opposite with our figures and go for correct proportion with action poses.  Here are my two favorite.  Check out the 8th grade tab for more.

    1. yep, there's a basic wire figure beneath it. Then you'll use newspaper to build it up. I tell my students to add a little belly and a booty. Then it starts to look more like a real figure and less flat.
