Meet the woman who painted her way into history.

Posted on June 12, 2024

This month, we’re excited to spotlight Rosa Bonheur.

She adored animals and brought them to life on canvas.

But Rosa Rosa Bonheur wasn’t just any artist. 

She broke gender norms and became a leading painter of her time. Her works are rich in detail and realism, and perfect for teaching your students about art and life.

Here’s why Bonheur is one of our 35 masters:

  • Her paintings focus on animals and rural scenes.
  • Each piece is detailed and brings every subject to life.
  • She used oil paints to capture realistic textures and colors.

Your students will learn to appreciate the beauty of nature through Bonheur’s eyes. They’ll understand the importance of patience and observation in creating art.

In short, here’s what Bonheur can teach:

  • Pay attention to detail. Every line matters.
  • Practice symmetry to balance your composition.
  • Observe your subject closely. Notice the textures and colors.

These tips help students see like artists, so they can translate what they see onto paper.

But that’s not all.

Here’s what else your students will gain from studying Bonheur:

  • A deep connection with nature and animals.
  • The joy of creating realistic and meaningful art.
  • Improved observation skills and attention to detail.

Our curriculum makes it easy. With step-by-step guides and training videos, you don’t need an art background. We provide everything you need to make art lessons enjoyable and effective.

It’s as easy as 1-2-3:

  1. Follow our simple guides.
  2. Use our provided art supplies.
  3. Watch the transformation in your students.

Help us bring Rosa Bonheur’s legacy into your classroom. And make sure to check our student gallery to see the result first-hand.

Creatively yours,

Meet the Masters

Everyone Loves MTM!

I had a parent stop me in the halls and express how much her children loved the curriculum. She was overjoyed that formal art education was included in our school day and that it was a curriculum that challenged the older elementary students, and was able to be done by the younger ones as well. She had a first and fourth grader at the time. I also had an aide who was in the classroom with me while I was teaching tell me how much she loved that art history portion of the curriculum. She said that she wasn’t much of an artist, and as a kid she dreaded craft time, but that the inclusion of the art history would have made all the difference to her as a child. I have students who have complained about going to a good behavior activity (which are always super fun!) because it meant she would have to miss art that week!
