Vive la France! Over the course of three mornings, students will explore the lively people, pets, and places of French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. They will then create their own enlivened artwork inspired by our special exhibit, Toulouse-Lautrec & His World.
Tuesday, April 16: We’ll visit the posters of Toulouse-Lautrec and get to know the animated dancers, actors, and singers he depicted, then create vibrant self-portrait posters using dress-up clothes and lots of color.
Wednesday, April 17: After a gallery “safari” to discover the horses, circus animals, and pets that inspired Toulouse-Lautrec, we’ll explore how all sorts of animals can be made out of shapes and put together a circus parade of our own 3-D animal puppets.
Thursday, April 18: Bon voyage! On our last day with Toulouse-Lautrec, we’ll visit his beloved city of Paris through an exploration of the sights, sounds, and smells of the places that he paints. Afterward, we’ll make collages using watercolors and a multitude of maps of France.
Check out these playful stop motion creations from our 2012 summer Art Adventures class with Northeast Utilities Artists-in-Residence Siebren Versteeg and Paul Theriault! They are simply amazing.
