In this unit, about the “Rainforest” you will refine your sketching skills through the inspiring works of the renowned French artist Henri Rousseau. Rousseau, known for his lush jungle landscapes and dreamlike scenes, provides a rich tapestry of imagery that serves as the foundation for this engaging and immersive art experience.
The unit is structured to progressively build sketching proficiency, starting with fundamental exercises that focus on observational skills and understanding the basic elements of Rousseau’s compositions.
