About this School Project (Curtain Call - Art inspired by Edgar Degas (1st Grade))
These oil pastel compositions were inspired by Edgar Degas' oil paintings of dancers and performers. Students gleaned ideas from Degas prints, a poem by Pavlova, and contemporary photos of ballet dancers and circus performers. Wooden manikins helped guide students in drawing the figure in various poses. The techniques of blending and layering are also on display here.
