4th Graders Learn about Henri Rousseau...

This week in art 4th graders will be exploring the art of Henri Rousseau.  Rousseau was known for painting pictures of jungles. 

We looked at a Prezi and played with an online jungle making tool.  Check it out and make your own jungle... http://www.nga.gov/kids/zone/jungle.htm

Students if you make a jungle online, print it off and bring it to class for inspiration.  We will be starting our own jungle collages this week!
