5th & 6th graders were introduced to Albert Giacometti, our artist for the month of April. He was a Swiss sculptor, painter, draftsman and printer. His trademark are the stretched statues that look like they are never ending.
The following sculpture, "The Walking Man", was sold at auction in 2010 for a whopping $104 million. A world record for the most expensive work of art ever sold at auction!
Students worked on replicating Giacometti's sculptures by using the following mediums: wire, aluminum foil, clay/model magic and papier mache paste
The following art concepts/elements of art were reinforced with this project: form, sculpture, space (positive/negative) and texture
Here are some examples of their work in progress:
