Degas DeCAW Ballerina

At the beginning of fall, a clever little crow was flying through the
beautiful city of Sierra Madre when she noticed scarecrows arriving for
the annual Scarecrow Festival.
A little nervous, she searched for a safe place to hide. That�s when she
spotted Mission: Renaissance FineArt Classes. Peeking through the
window, she saw students studying and recreating the works of the great
master painters. Suddenly, an idea fluttered into her mind:

�Hmmmm� I could disguise myself as a famous painting! Then no one will
find me!�

After admiring the work of many master artists, she chose the graceful
ballerinas of Edgar Degas, whose paintings have been studied and
recreated by many Mission: Renaissance students.

Using soft pastels, she transformed herself into a beautiful ballerina,
complete with a delicate tutu
inspired by Degas.

Visit Mission: Renaissance and look closely at the artwork in the
window. You might spot a little black
beak, a pair of shiny eyes, and a few feathers beneath a pastel tutu.

The clever crow had become Degas DeCAW Ballerina!
