Henri Rousseau, Jungle Painting

Hello everyone!

In art class we are learning about a new artist called Henri Rousseau, if you don't know who Henri is he was a artist in the 1844 but died in the 1910s. At first Henri wasn't to popular most of Henri paintings are based off nature or the jungle.

Here is a piece of art he did 

He is a piece of art he did it is called "The Snake Charmer" made in 1907

Five Facts About Henri

• Henri loves nature 

• Henri couldn't afford art lessons so he was self taught

• He reads about a big art exhibition and puts in his art that was the first time he displayed his art

• People would say mean things about his art

• He would go to the louvre to look at his favorite artists to learn about anatomy 

Two words from Quizlet I didn't understand

Drama: Maui And The Fish Tableaus

 Hello Everyone, 

In drama we have been focusing on tableaus, if you don't know what tableaus they are like freeze frames. you stand in a position for like 6 seconds and then move on to your next one. here are some photos of my class doing it.

Questions!

1. What worked well in this tableau?

-  We got to choose our teammates which I think helped because you could choose your friends and work better. so I would say the teamwork worked well in the tableau.

2. What would you improve or change if you were to perform again? 

- I would try better, honestly most of time I did the tableau I wasn't trying my best so if I was to do it again I would try better

3. Identify where your group has used facial expressions, physicality and/ or levels effectively 

-   When it comes to facial expressions I think my group was good with that like 7/10 it was good but could been better,  Physicality I think that our group physicality was really good I would do a 9/10, levels they could I been better they could of been better 8/10

4. Evaluate how well your transitions worked between tableaus 

- I transitions and tableaus were good though we were really slow and we could of been faster to get in our positions so we did good but we could of did better.

This is when we were doing a village I was grass, our physicality was good and we all had different levels

This photo we had to do a scary monster I was lying on the floor dead but we used a lot of different levels 

I forgot what we were doing in this photo but everyone had lots of different levels and lots of physicality 

this is one of the Maui and the fish tableaus we had to do, we had to make are own string ray from the story.
