lecture and slideshow

Like with most of my classes, I would like to begin with a lecture and slideshow of Degas work.  Now, don’t worry it won’t be too long and I promise I have included lots of beautiful images. This academic aspect is key to us understanding Degas on a more intimate level. Plus, I just love an opportunity to geek out. ;) So without further ado let's start the show…

I hope you enjoyed the slideshow and now I feel that you have a better understanding of Degas's life, his artwork, and his techniques. Of course, I only covered a snippet of his vast array of works. You are welcome to enjoy the video below, which depicts his entire body of work.

I would also encourage you to go over to Google Arts & Culture where you can view a huge amount of his work! The best part is you can zoom in very close and examine his line work and pastel strokes! It’s a must see!!

Let's continue to warm up exercises...
