Meet the artist: Henri Rousseau! Year 3

 The Year 3 students have learned so much about the famous artist, Henri Rousseau.

Eddy learned that before becoming an artist, Rousseau was a toll collector.

Armaan learned that when he started painting, art critics ridiculed Rousseau.

Nushara learned that Rousseau was close friends with Pablo Picasso.

Irena learned that Rousseau painted many jungle paintings, but he never visited a real jungle.

In Term 1 we developed our drawing skills and created a watercolour Tiger art work. They are on display in our main building. Everyone is welcome to come and see our amazing, year 3 artists, Tiger art works.

This term we have painted a Henri Rousseau inspired jungle. We used warm colours to create our background. We painted our jungle leaves using only blue and yellow paint and mixed our own shades of green. We had fun creating our Jungle paintings. We hope you like them too!

You are always welcome in the Art room! Suzanne Bolger.
