- Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was one of the twentieth century’s most important and critically acclaimed sculptors. Through a lifetime of artistic experimentation, he created sculptures, gardens, furniture and lighting designs, ceramics, architecture, and set designs. His work, at once subtle and bold, traditional and modern, set a new standard for the reintegration of the arts.
- Henry Moore (30 July 1898 – 31 August 1986) Henry Moore was an English sculptor and artist. He was best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art. His forms are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore’s works are usually abstracted views of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he sculpted family groups. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces showing negative space.
- Brainstorm a list of emotions in your visual journal.
- How can emotions vary (Ex. feeling pleased vs. feeling ecstatic both are happy feelings.)
- How can emotions vary based on what types of lines and shapes an artist used (Ex. feeling happy vs. angry or sad).
- What types of lines express different emotions (curved & swirly are happy lines, Angular lines: zig-zag & diagonal are active and can have a feeling of tension, Vertical & horizontal lines are calming).
- What about color, can color represent emotion?
