Ballet Illustrated By Students
Clara Rogers, art teacher at the Tryon schools, asked her filth
grade art classes to draw pictures of ballet dancers, suitable for
mounting on posters that had been pre-printed for this purpose.
Mrs Rogers showed them a ballet book with pictures of dancers,
and then even stood on a table and showed them various ballet
poses to copy! We couldn't persuade her to pose for our camera,
but we think the drawings came out well anyway.
All this activity is to promote the program of ballet coming to
Tryon on Mar. 17. Pictured here are some of the young artists
holding their work. Kneeling in front: Heather McIntyre, Beth
Wolfe, and Christina Ross. Standing behind them are Kent
Causby, Alex Turner, and Morgan Bradshaw.
Watch for the posters in store windows and other places. The
N.C. Dance Theatre will perform on Mar. 17 at 8 p.m. at the Fine
Arts Center. —Community Reporter
