Essential Question: What is Styrogami and what am I going to be expected to do for this project?

1.Styrogami is the art of using Styrofoam to make works of art. 2.Can also be made with recyclable products.

3. Styrogami Artist:
1. J. Jules Vitali has spent 23 years developing and perfecting Styrogami, which now exists in a number of forms. Each one of these delicate creations is sculpted from a single cup. The whole cup is utilized, nothing is thrown away.

4. 2.Every piece that has been sculpted has come from a "found" cup, meaning it was acquired from some source other than purchase.
