2nd Grade - Henri Rousseau inspired jungle painting

We started off the class by learning the life of Henri Rousseau and his jungle paintings. Students saw different examples of Rousseau's paintings. We also discussed about the characteristics of Rousseau's paintings such as different shades of green color for leaves, beautiful jungle scene with animals and wild flowers. Students learned how to draw a monkey and I encouraged the students to fill the whole paper with different leaves and plants in the jungle. We used different shades of greens with liquid watercolors.

Our art curriculum is based  on exploration in arts and provides opportunity for students to express and explore with wide range of materials through drawing, painting, working with clay, construction, fabric and craft materials .  Art lessons and projects are developed to demonstrate the understanding of how to use elements of art( line, space, shape and form, colors, texture) and principles of art(Balance, emphasis, movement, proportion, rhythm, unity, and variety). Each grade level will have experience working with a variety of materials and  explore different genre like portraits, landscapes, still life, cityscapes, cartoon, abstract etc., Each grade will be introduced to art history and  learn about the lives and work of masters and contemporary artists and create a master piece inspired by famous  painting from art history.
