Edgar Degas
I chose Edgar Degas because i'm in dance, and when I first saw this picture, I liked how he captured the scene.
in a little town called Paris in a country called France, there was a boy. that boys name was Edgar Degas. and at the age of 18, he was doing something only aspiring artists did, he was copying, (artist developed their technique by copying famous pieces of art. Edgar received permission to do so). The Ecole Des Beaux admitted Edgar as their student, but alas, Edgar wanted to travel, so he only went for a year. He traveled Italy for 3 years painting, and studying. and boy created a name for himself in the art world. the boy was born in the year 1834, and died in the year 1917 when he was 83 years old. and that is the story of Edgar Degas.

Michealangelo
Did you know that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were named after famous artists?My favorite one is Mikey (Michelangelo), because I like how he jokes about everything. I picked Michelangelo because of that.
On March 6th, 1475, in Caprese Italy. a baby was born to Leonardo Di Buonarrota Simoni and his wife, Francesca Neri. They named him, Michelangelo Di Lodovico Buonarrota Simoni. At the age of 13 Michelangelo was apprenticed to the Fashionable Florentine Painter's Workshop. There Michelangelo was exposed to Fresco there. From 1489-1492 he spent with the Medici family. the things he learned there, and the influences there, laid the ground work for Michelangelo's distinctive style he would have. Michelangelo died on February 18th, 1564. But not before he became famous with his great masterpieces!
