Studying Henri Rousseau

We have been studying the paintings of Henri Rosseau over the last few weeks. This was the children's favourite painting at the National Art Gallery, so we were excited to learn more about his other paintings. However the children did not enjoy looking at a lot of his other paintings as a lot of them were too dark and mysterious for them, the one below(Surprised) being one of his lighter-hearted ones.

Jude's jungle study.
Niamh's Jungle painting.

Eden's painting was done with oil pastels and watercolours.

Hi Eden, Niamh and Jude,

Henri Rousseaus's painting is quite interesting, but I do love all of yours, the colours are so vivid and bright.

Wonderful work keep it up.
Love and kisses from your Nana.
