Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a French painter, printmaker, and draftsman. Born in 1864, he is best known for his portraits of the colorful and eclectic characters of Parisian nightlife in the late 19th century. Toulouse-Lautrec's works are characterized by their bold, exaggerated depictions of people and their environments, as well as their vivid colors and dynamic compositions. He was known for his innovative techniques, such as his use of contrasting colors, and his works often convey a sense of energy and movement.
Over time, Toulouse-Lautrec became a leading figure in the Post-Impressionist movement, and his works continue to be celebrated for their historical significance and beauty. Today, Toulouse-Lautrec'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.

Teachers were able to implement the clearly written Meet the Masters lesson plan with ease. Our second graders were actively engaged during the Picasso lesson. They created their own abstract art and were proud to share their masterpieces with their families during Open House last year. Overall, we were impressed with the material and the students enjoyed learning about Picasso. We will be doing the art project again this year to share at Open House.
