The feelings and memories Alexander Calder has resembled through his work are-
Pollution-
By using materials such as broken glass, shards of ceramics and other interesting nick nacks in his work he has created an image about pollution in our seas and oceans. When I look at the interesting recyclable materials in the body of the fish I think of how I can prevent rubbish affecting the sea creatures eating dangerous objects.
Beach-
Simply by making the shape of the mobile into a fish figure it reminds me of the beach. By using the bright yellow colour it reminds me of the sun out over the water.
Kite-
By making the tail of the fish into a triangular like shape it makes me think of kites in the sky.
Calmness-
By also creating the mobile it makes me peaceful as it reminds me of little babies being put to bed with the mobile hanging above them
Childhood-
The use of bright colours, shapes and figures, and the sculpture being a mobile Alexander Calder has reminded me of my childhood when I use to fly kites, use bright colours and have mobiles or hanging objects from my ceiling.
Movie-
Alexander Calder has used the shape of the fish reminding me of the three movies which are Ariel, Happy Feet and Finding Nemo. By using the nick nacks in the stomach of the fish reminding me of the scene in the movie Happy Feet when one of the penguin has rubbish caught around his neck from people littering.

Narrative-
The use of bright colours and the variety of different materials it reminds me of telling a story, especially when I was in primary school we had to write a narrative of a picture.
Happiness-
The use of bright colours makes the viewer audience feel happy.
It reminds me of happy things such as mr happy and Bob Marley's song Don't Worry Be Happy. :) :) :)

Geometric Shapes-
The use of sharp, curved and soft angles in “Finny Fish” reminds me of geometric shapes.
Dream Catcher-
Alexander Calder has used a netting like design on the body of the fish looks like the netting design on dream catchers.
Fishing-
The right angle of the mouth of the fish reminds me of the fishing hook people use to go fishing along the beach.
Mobile-
By simply been made into a mobile Alexander Calder has created a free feeling. Having the mobile beeing able to blow free in the wind it reminds me when I was younger when I use to feel happy and care free playing at the park.
