Giacometti Inspired Sculptures
THE BIG QUESTIONS...
- How does Alberto Giacometti create his artworks?
- How can the simplest of shapes can convey great emotion?WE WILL....design and construct a sculpture inspired by Giacometti’s bronze figures that convey a strong emotion we felt during our visit at Talking Tree Hill.1. Stick Figure Sketches Warm Up2. 
Alberto Giacometti was Swiss. He was born in 1901 and died in 1966. He began painting, drawing, and sculpting from a very early age and explored many art forms throughout his life. He is most famous for his tall, thin figures made of bronze.
Giacometti’s Figure Sculptures:: What words would you use to describe the people?
Did you notice how textured the figures are? Think about how the thin, elongated arms and legs of the people contrast with the strong metal they are made of.Let’s take our exploration of stick figures, our experiences at Talking Tree Hill and ideas from Giacometti's sculptures to create some metal people of our own!

MISSION :: FOIL FIGURE SCULPTURES
1. Draw some quick stick figure sketches that convey the emotions/ activities you did during your visit to Talking Tree Hill. You might like to work in pairs: one person uses their own body to strike a pose, the other person re-creates the pose in their sketch. How will Giacometti's sculptures inspire your sketches?2. Choose one sketch to make into a foil figure sculpture.3. Get one piece of kitchen foil.4. Look at the photo below. Draw the guide lines on your own piece of foil. (Each piece will become the head, arms, legs, and torso of your person.)
5. Cut along the guide lines. 6. Carefully use your hands to scrunch up each foil section to make your person.
7. Move your foil figure to recreate your sketch. (The arms, legs, back, and neck will all bend easily so you can carefully re-position your person.)Maybe you can get your sculpture to stand up on its own? This is quite hard, as you need to play around with the balance of your person and their centre of gravity.

INSPIRED FLOWERS...
“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for
the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city
rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower.
I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
Georgia O’Keeffe
WHO IS SHE AND WHAT IS SHE FAMOUS FOR?
Born in 1887, Georgia O'Keeffe was an American artist who painted nature in a way that showed how it made her feel. She is best known for her paintings of flowers and desert landscapes.
She played an important part in the development of modern art in America, becoming the first female painter to gain respect in New York's art world in the 1920s. Her unique and new way of painting nature, simplifying its shapes and forms meant that she was called a pioneer.
Georgia O’Keeffe takes something so simple, and explores it in detail. She makes it big, and beautiful.
