Henri Rousseau
This My Artist Box takes children on an adventure through the enchanting and mysterious world of Henri Rousseau’s art.
Rousseau, a late-19th-century French painter, shocked the world with his naive art and dream-like jungle landscapes. Young artists will kick off this art box by taking a closer look at Rousseau and his inspiration for creating this one-of-a-kind artwork. Then they’ll start making their own masterpieces! They’ll channel Rousseau’s rich colors, non-traditional proportions, and imaginative settings in each project. As budding artists, they’ll have the opportunity to practice drawing, painting, and laying out artwork with one-point perspective. The box is filled with high-quality art supplies too. Kids will work with bleeding tissue paper, photo paper, crinkle paper, tempera paint, and watercolors.

In this adventurous reproduction, kids will use two types of paint and a torn-paper method to create a stormy seascape.

They'll also use a very unusual tool (a fork!) to paint the storm and sheets of rain.Login to Watch Video
