    Objectives:

    • To create an elongated figurative sculpture in the style of Alberto Giacometti.


    • To use an armature to build an additive sculpture.
    • To sketch out an idea of the figure before building the armature.

    Directions:
    1. First read the article on Alberto Giacometti and fill out the Artist’s
    Profile on Giacometti using the information gained from the
    article.
    2. Next, sketch out some ideas for your own Giacometti inspired
    figure in the space provided on the back of this sheet. (no fewer
    than 3 sketches)
    3. Remember, you may add props to your figure as long as your
    figure is elongated like Giacometti’s figures.
    4. Then, you will okay your final sketch with Mrs. Denison.
    5. You will get two wire hangers, one for the head, shoulders, and
    arms, one for the body and legs.
    6. You will then cut out a torso, hands and feet with scraps of
    cardboard.
    7. Put these together with small strips of masking tape.
    8. You will then use papier-mâché to add texture to the armatures.
    9. Once the papier-mâché has dried, we will glue the sculptures to the Vocabulary Terms:
    base, and paint the sculptures black.

    10. Last, we will rub a metallic paint onto the sculptures to give it a
    “finished” look.
