9. Alexander Calder is Important Because:  He was an engineer  He revolutionised modern art with movement and colour of his sculptures called “Mobiles”.  He was famous stationary construction called “Stabiles”.  Created “Cirque Calder”

11. Why I like Alexander Calder Calder’s mobiles and stabiles are fascinating by combining bright color and metal materials Calder’s paintings are very unique He was painter, sculptor, he created things that moved and art that was both big and small. He was very passionate not only for art but for anything he did.
