Grade 2 Studies Henri Rousseau

  
  Henri Rousseau (French), Surprised, Storm in the Forest

Henri Rousseau was born on May 21, 1844 and died on September 2, 1910.  He was a French Post-Impressionist painter.  His best known paintings depict jungle scenes.  An interesting note is that he never left France or saw a jungle. His inspiration came from illustrated books and the botanical gardens in Paris.  He painted in layers.  The second grade students also had to paint in layers. The students were able to distinguish the ways in which overlapping forms create foreground, middleground and background.
