  7. Born in 1898 • Parents artists: Dad sculptor and mom painter • Art commissions called for frequent travel • Alexander had own art studio regardless starting at age 9 • Graduated with engineering degree • Worked various jobs: engineer for hydraulics/automotive, timekeeper and fireman for boiler room on ship • During travels with ship off Guatemalan coast, experienced sunrise and moon scape simultaneously: Huge impact on his life: referred to it often • Enrolled as art student at Student Art League in NYC (Premier school for art that generated numerous famous artists for Modern art movement) • Worked as sketch artist and commissioned to sketch Ringley Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus for 2 weeks in 1925 • Moved to Paris in 1926 and created Cirque Calder: mixed media found object moveable sculpture manipulated by artist for performances that lasted up to 2 hours (40 years prior to concept of performance art) • Rep grew and soon had shows internationally • Friends with Mondrian, Jean Arp and became member of Abstraction-Creation group • 1931 created first truly kinetic sculpture: mobile named so by Duchamp which means motion and motive • Worked often designing sets for Perfomances especially Martha Graham=pioneer Modern dance Alexander Calder

  17. *minimum of 3 materials *one material has to be found object *only 20% of the sculpture may be created using a material already constructed for building *must address one of the problems to solve *movement created from hand crank or natural force Requirements
