4.0 out of 5 stars
Just what I needed for an elementary project.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alberto Giacometti (Artists in Their Time) (Paperback)
I planned an easy foil sculpture activity for elementary age students. This book was perfect as a lead in. The characters in the book ,Cactus Soup, were the motivation for this art project. They resembled Giacometti's sculptural style.
