The term "papier-mâché" translates to "chewed paper," a tribute to its humble beginnings. Dating back to ancient Egypt, this form has evolved through cultures worldwide including China, where it was used to create helmets layered with lacquer. In modern art, papier-mâché is celebrated for its versatility and eco-friendliness, often used in art classes within educational settings and by professional artists for large sculptures due to its lightweight and cost-effective traits.
