Macaroni art
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]
In popular culture
[edit]Pasta art was used to advertise a Nancy Sinatra concert at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, California. The art the poster was made from is composed entirely of Pasta e Fagioli (pasta and beans). Alphabet pasta spells out the lyrics for her 1965 song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'".[3]
Another example of pasta art was featured in "The Fusilli Jerry" episode of the American television sitcom Seinfeld, in which Cosmo Kramer produced a small sculpture of Jerry Seinfeld made of fusilli.
A macaroni art portrait of the Queen of Space was featured in an episode of the American animated science fiction sitcom Futurama.
In Episode 9 of the first season of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons, Lisa Simpson gave Marge a macaroni portrait as a gift.
