Macaroni art

A picture made by using pasta

Macaroni art, sometimes referred to as macaroni crafts or pasta art, is artwork that is made of dry macaroni or other pasta.[1] The works commonly consist of individual pieces of macaroni glued to a surface to produce a mosaic. However, works may take the form of sculptures.

This type of art is produced during arts and crafts classes at pre-school.[2] Today, it has evolved to become an artform practiced by adults.

In popular culture

In an episode of the television sitcom Seinfeld, Cosmo Kramer produces a small sculpture made of fusilli called "Fusili Jerry". An extremely complex and superb example of noodle art is this poster from a performance by Nancy Sinatra at the world famous Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. The art the poster was made from is composed entirely of Pasta and Beans (Pasta e Fagioli) The Alphabet Pasta that Ms. Sinatra's face is composed of spells out the lyrics for her hit These Boots Are Made For Walking. http://www.classicposters.com/Nancy_Sinatra/poster/New_Fillmore_Series/194
