Summary

Students will work their brain in several ways, noticing details, comparing, synthesizing, and finally identifying a parallel. All with one artist’s work!

  1. Students begin by simply noticing details in this painting of [two women](https://d3cbjw4c6qut3f.cloudfront.net/art/degas/Degas-women-ironing.jpg).
  2. Next, they find similarities in the painting of women ironing and this painting of [women waiting](https://d3cbjw4c6qut3f.cloudfront.net/art/degas/Degas-waiting.jpg).
  3. Students then look at [four more paintings (all in one file)](https://d3cbjw4c6qut3f.cloudfront.net/art/degas/Degas-four-more.jpg) and create a big idea about Degas' style. Here are the four images as separate files: [two dancers](https://d3cbjw4c6qut3f.cloudfront.net/art/degas/Degas-two-dancers.jpg), many [dancers on stage](https://d3cbjw4c6qut3f.cloudfront.net/art/degas/Degas-ballet-rehearsal-on-stage.jpg), a [woman ironing, looking at camera](https://d3cbjw4c6qut3f.cloudfront.net/art/degas/Degas-ironing-woman.jpg), and a [woman ironing in the shadows](https://d3cbjw4c6qut3f.cloudfront.net/art/degas/Degas-a-woman-ironing.jpg).
  4. Finally, students will consider at least one other creator who matches the big idea they created for Degas. Here's more of Julia [flipping that potato](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6s6rVAkFrE).
