Welcome to June!! I hope you aren't as hot as we are here in South Florida. We haven't even gotten to Summer yet and I am already tired of the heat.
I am excited to be hosting the June Artist Inspiration Challenge. For this month's challenge we will be looking at the work of Edgar Degas. One of the things I found so interesting about Degas is that he suffered from progressive vision loss throughout his life. He mentioned his vision as early as the age of 19 yet he was still a great artist. You can learn more about Degas here.
For this month's challenge you can use any of Degas's work (sculpture or paintings) included in The Met's Open Access program. Below you will find a couple of examples of his work. You can find all the open access art here. When posting your page, please let us know which Edgar Degas work of art inspired you.

My Page. My inspiration came from the horse sculpture. When I saw the horse sculpture, I knew I wanted to do a fantasy page.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I can't wait to see how you're inspired.
