Kia Ora everyone,
We are now back at school. During art, we had to listen to a story book that talks about Henri Rousseau. Henri Rousseau is a French painter. While listening to the story book, we had to take notes, facts that is in the book/video.
This is the notes I wrote that I currently have (not finish yet).
- Henri Rousseau is a toll collector, 40 years old that wants to be an artist.
- He loves nature (foliage).
- He has to teach himself since he cant afford an art lesson.
- After hearing about the art exhibition, his canvas are displayed on the place the show is held.
- He walked around to gather some ideas, and ends up in world's fair.
- While he was painting, a tiger crawled in.
- Every year he attends the art exhibition, but art experts always makes fun of him.
- He spends hours painting on cemetery, he paints and learns.
- A gardener sneaks him into the hothouse, and he goes in.
- frond
- tenderly
- banquet
- frolic
This is one of Henri Rousseau's art works that I admire. This painting is very realistic and has lots of details in it. It is called "The Equatorial Jungle" that is created in 1909.
That is all for today, thank you for reading my blog, goodbye:))
