4th GRADE--Degas Dancers

The 4th grade students learned about the artist Edgar Degas through many books and prints of his pieces of artwork. We also reviewed the warm/cool color schemes. The students were able to create their own scratch board using crayons and black paint. Then we discussed pattern and unity as they were able to scratch different patterns into their scratchboard. Finally we talked about the art of dance and students created a dancer in the pose of their choice out of tinfoil.
