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.

I first discovered MTM eight years ago at Legacy Prep Academy in Utah. I signed up to volunteer and I was blown away! It was simple, informative, and so much fun. The structure of the scripted lesson plans made it so easy to present to students. Art history, technique, creative inspiration, cultural literacy! All these things presented in a way that is fun and easy to retain. It is a joy for the students and the adults lucky enough to be teaching them!
