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!

Meet the masters continues to be one of the most successful programs at our school, with the largest consistent group of parent volunteers. Our students recognize art by “the masters” when they see it around town or on family trips. Students that call themselves “bad at art” have been delighted when they see the beautiful art they can create. Thank you for all you do to make this curriculum glow and shine. We love it and are so thrilled to continue to use it at our school!
