Henri Rousseau
Henri Rousseau was not a trained artist, but self taught.
He loved the rainforest, but got his inspiration for his paintings from visiting botanical gardens.
His art was called ‘Post-impressionism’, he didn't paint the rainforest as it looks in real life.
He painted a lot from his imagination.
Think about..
• What do you like and dislike about each painting?
• What colours can you see and how many?
• What can you see in the foreground, middleground and background?
• Can you imagine being in the rainforest?
• What animals would you paint?
Challenge
Paint, collage or crayon a rainforest scene in the style of Henri Rousseau!
Think about the height of the rainforest plants.
The End!
