Our class has been focusing on an artist for an art exhibition. The artist's name is Henri Rousseau ( 1844 till 1910).He is famous for his paintings of rainforests and tropical areas, the remarkable thing about his masterpeices is that he has never been to any tropical areas - finding his inspiration from the trees and plants from his own garden and botanical parks in Paris. The animals in his pieces were created from childrens books or going to zoos.
We have found a really cool website that you can have a go at making your own Rousseau Jungle. The website is http://www.nga.gov/kids/zone/jungle.htm

Hey everyone!
Working with Roussea (is that spelling right???) Is soooo fun! His paintings are not very lifelike, but are very exciting to look at. I have been on the website and did two copies of my own Roussea painting! I lost one though, but will make another one. I finished doing the sketching on our big A3 pieces of paper, mine looks OK, but Patricks drawing next to mine was amazing! Did I say though out loud? Well it is good. I would like to do some more sketching of his paintings more.
