In year 8, we have been studying Alberto Giacometti. Giacometti was a Swiss artist based in Paris, known for his prints, paintings, and drawings, but was most famous for his sculptural work. He is considered one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. His early works were inspired by Cubism and Surrealism. In the 1940’s Giacometti produced the thin wire figures for which he is most famous. His thin, skeletal figures spoke to the angst that followed the second world war and are often cited as a metaphor for the human condition. The students in year 8 made the artworks inspired by these sculptures but based on movements they were interested in such as dance or a sport, this was quite a challenging art project but with perseverance and a good set of pliers they were all successful.
