This week, our Year 3\u20134 students continued their exploration of the artworks of Edgar Degas, with a focus on his famous ballerina paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on last week\u2019s pastel work, students were introduced to charcoal as a new medium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They carefully observed Degas\u2019 ballerina compositions and recreated the figures using charcoal, paying close attention to pose, balance, and movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this process, students explored how charcoal can create strong contrast, expressive lines, and dramatic shading. They practised blending and smudging techniques to build depth and atmosphere, discovering how light and shadow help bring the dancer\u2019s form to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was wonderful to see students becoming more confident with observational drawing while also experimenting boldly with texture and tone. Their artworks beautifully capture the elegance and motion found in Degas\u2019 ballerinas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am so very proud of their focus and artistic growth this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
