Many students love the power of the pulply paste. I have done many sculptures with papier mache over the years and it always works best when students want to work big. I mean big as in

Papier mach can really take the form of just about anything, it lends itself well to lessons on form or any other type of sculpture. smaller pieces that are created in my studio are supported by wire frame armatures. The armature is made from donated coat hangers.
