Alberto Giacometti was a great sculptor, painter, and printmaker. So Alberto

Giacometti made detailed drawings and made technical plans. He was born in Stampa,
Graubunden, Switzerland, on October 10, 1901, and died on January 11, 1966, in Chur,
Graubunden, Switzerland. He made a lot of masterpieces, like the "Mountain Landscape at
Maloja"in 1920, "Still Life with Apples"in 1937, "Walking Man", and etc.. Alberto's interest
in art, was encouraged by his father Giovanni Giacometti, which was a Post Impressionist
painter.
In 1960, Giacometti made a sculpture called the Walking Man. The sculpture is made
of bronze. It represents the Jew in the Holocaust and posts the realities of what was going on
in World War 2. The sculpture was 185.25 by 96.52 by 26.67 centimeters. The Walking Man
looks like he has no breathe can go through his body from how thin he is. Also the head looks
shrinks and the legs are really thin. You can as well see that the sculpture/man can hardly
stand up.
For my poster awarement, I did it on hunger. I wanted to convey the message that
there is way too many people dying because of hunger. A lot of the people can help and so
can we. I choose this particular social issue, because it is a massive problem that needs to be
fixed. We throw away so much food that someone else is in need of it. I made my poster by
putting the words, "STOP HUNGER NOW", in a colorful hamburger made by me.
