Your homework this week is to create a double page spread about Niki de Saint Phalle. It may contain her early work but must contain some of her Nana series. You may paint, collage, make your own sculptures and photograph them.
Niki de Saint Phalle is said to have based the Nanas on a pregnant friend so perhaps you might find photos of family who are pregnant (get permission first!) and add these images to your page
You might look at the Willendorf Venus (one of the earliest images of the body carved some 25,000 years ago at just over 4 1/2 inches it was found of the banks of the river Danube in Austria) perhaps the de Saint Phalle was also influenced by it as well.
