Fifth grade Degas 3-D figures

Fifth grade saw a short movie on the life and artwork of Edgar Degas. They learned how he painted pictures of people in everyday life. Students then drew figures doing a variety of actions.
Their favorite pose was then made into a 3-D figure using foil.  Next children drew a place where their figure will be. We discussed how artists show space and depth in a picture with perspective, overlapping, placement on the page, and size. These place drawings will be redrawn or scratched onto multi color scratchboard. The figure will get glued on at the completion. These will be posted soon!
