Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas was born on July 19, 1834. Degas was an Impressionist artist but is probably best known for his paintings of dancers.



Two Dancers on a Bench by Edgar Degas

Discussion about the piece:
What are the girls wearing?
What do you think each girl is thinking?
What are they doing? Where are they?


After discussing the piece, create a story about the girls in the painting. You may even want to act out a scene from the story. Be creative!
