Degas is perhaps best known for painting ballet dancers. He was fascinated by them, and wanted to capture their grace and power. He often painted them backstage, getting ready for a performance.
This little bronze sculpture of a dancer is a copy of a wax figure Degas made in 1880. At this time Degas was starting to go blind, and he found it harder and harder to paint. So he began making sculptures. This sculpture is of a little girl who was a ballet student at the Paris Opéra. Her skirt is made of cloth. Her hair is made of bronze, but in the original sculpture she had real hair, tied back with a ribbon.
What do you think of Degas's artwork? Have you ever tried to draw a dancer? How would you use marks and scribbles to show someone moving?
The Girl has to work twice as hard when she has to fill in for the host of the game show.

Hi My amazing artists!
Today we will learn about Paul Klee.
Paul Klee (1879-1940) German-Swiss Artist
Paul Klee was born in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland in 1879. His father, Hans Klee, was a music teacher, and mother, Ida Frick, had trained to be a singer. Paul was the second of two children.
Paul took an interest in music and drawing at a young age. By the age of seven he was playing the violin, and at age eight he was given a box of sidewalk chalk by his grandmother. In the beginning his parents encouraged the development of his musical skills, though in his teen years he decided to focus on becoming an artist.
Follow the instructions below to create your Paul Klee inspired art work.
1.Read and look at the picture about the artist by clicking on the google slides ( hope this works) and on the instructional video to help you create your art work.
2. use crayons ,markers or both!

Episode 204: “Super Armadillo - Trouble from Above” - Activity 34
Provide your child with magazines, books, and other appropriate print materials, as well as some small slips of paper that can be used as bookmarks. Use the print materials to play the game I’m Searching for a Machine with your child. Tell your child that the object of the game is to find as many machines as possible that can move to a stationary position of arriba (up) or abajo (down). To play the game, each player should select three resources from the collection of magazines, books, etc. and take a small pile of paper slips. Set a kitchen timer for five minutes and begin the search for the machines that can move to a position of arriba or abajo. Use the slips ofpaper to mark the places of the machine pictures that are found. At the end of the five minute period, ask each player to share the machines he/she has discovered and to discuss and justify how each one can move to a position of arriba or abajo. Verbal commendations should be given to the player who finds the most machines, the player who finds the most unusual machine, and the player who has the most original (but justifiable) explanation of movement. Play can resume by searching for a new object. To extend the activity, you may want to encourage your child to choose one of the objects that he/she found interesting during the search and make a trip to the library to find a book related to it.
