“These sculptures were inspired by Alberto Giacometti, a Swiss surrealist sculptor,” said middle school art teacher Mike Thompson. “Alberto Giacometti was a Swiss sculptor, painter, draftsman and printmaker. His father Giovanni was a well-
known post-impressionist painter. In 1922 he moved to Paris. There Giacometti experimented with cubism and surrealism and came to be regarded as one of the leading surrealist sculptors.”
The seventh grade art students used soft wire and twisted a basic form then covered the figure with pa- per maché. The sculptures were then stapled onto a wooden base and spray painted.
