The Fantastic Jungles of Henri Rousseau

One of this year's Red Clover books is The Fantastic Jungles of Henri Rousseau. This book focuses on how this famous self-taught French artist persevered and kept painting despite being repeatedly told his work was bad. As part of our exploration of this book, students have used the National Gallery of Art's Kids page to create collages using clips from Rousseau's paintings.
