Henri Rousseau loved to paint jungles, but he had never actually visited one! Instead, he painted from his imagination, using pictures he saw in books and his dream-like visions. Today, we will learn about his life, see some of his amazing artworks, and even create our own jungle paintings inspired by his creativity!
