Meet the Artist: Alberto Giacometti is packed with inspiring art-based
activities for budding young artists, who can create interesting
portraits, sculptures, and collage landscapes.
Starting with a brief introduction to the life of Alberto Giacometti
(1901-1966), an important Italian sculptor best known for his
distinctive elongated figures, the book then offers a series of creative
activities that explore prominent themes and ideas in the artist's work.
Featuring beautiful reproductions of actual artworks, and illustrated by
a leading contemporary illustrator, this book, like all titles in the
Meet the Artist series, encourages children to use art as an avenue
for exploring ideas and expressing their own experiences.
