Video clip

Hello everyone,

We have been working very hard writing a booklet on the great Henri Rousseau. Here is a wonderful
clip about a person "falling into" Rousseau's most famous painting, "Surprised!" featuring a vicious tiger!

Rousseau jungle art, Writing and Maths games!!

Hello all!

Recently, we have been finding out about the jungle paintings of Henri Rousseau. He was a wonderful and unique artist, who was self taught, and painted scenes purely from his imagination and trips to the botanic gardens in Paris.

Here is a brilliant website that lets you create Rousseau inspired pictures with animals in the foreground and lush jungle in the background. Enjoy:

Furthermore, here is a popular writing game which features Big Baby!:
