Henri Rousseau was a French Post-Impressionist painter. Born in 1844, he is best known for his colorful and imaginative depictions of jungles, wild animals, and exotic landscapes. Rousseau's works are characterized by their bold colors, flat patterns, and dreamlike quality. He was known for his innovative techniques, such as capturing the lush vegetation and vibrant life of the jungle in his paintings, and his works often convey a sense of mystery and adventure.
Over time, Rousseau became a leading figure in the Post-Impressionist movement, and his works continue to be celebrated for their historical significance and beauty. Today, Rousseau's works can be found in major museums around the world, and he remains one of the most famous and beloved artists of all time.

As a volunteer for my son’s school, Peace with Christ Christian School, in Aurora, Colorado, I recommended the Meet the Masters program to the art teacher and to the principal. One track was purchased the next year and another track was purchased the subsequent year. Volunteers moved between classrooms presenting artists to children who were excited and enthusiastic about learning the Masters of art. The curriculum presented the artist biography, broke down art techniques into manageable pieces, and enhanced the students artistic skills.
Wishing you many years of continued success in bringing art and Meet the Masters to children, of all ages.
Save more with a track purchase & teach all year long.
*Art supplies and teacher/volunteer training DVDs can be added to your order.
