Henri Rousseau

Good afternoon everybody i hope you all are doing well. Today i'm going to be talking about what i did in Art for .

In our art my class watched a video called the the fantastic jungles of Henri Rousseau,it was about a man called Henri Rousseau who loved painting he was a self taught artist who couldn't afford art lessons.

He painted jungles,animals and nature even though he had never been to a jungle. No one ever told him he was talented before he started painting.He collected ideas from around the city for his new paintings.One day Henry read about a big art exhibition,he takes his art to the art exhibition and presents it to experts. Henry went to the art exhibition to present his art and every time the art experts made fun of him saying that it looks like he closed his eyes and painted with his feet.He got used to peoples nasty comments,he knew his art was simpler and flatter and he found that lovely. Henry spend all he earned on art supplies.He also gave music lessons in the afternoon.For weeks he fixed his painting when he finished he took it to the art exhibition many experts make fun of him and some disagreed.His paintings now hangs in  museums all around the world.

After watching the video we draw drawing similar to Henri Rousseau.It was fun!!
