Exploring Fauvism: Vibrant Trees and Landscapes

Dive into the vivid world of Fauvism, where color reigns supreme. This art movement, founded by the early twentieth-century group Les Fauves—a name meaning "the wild beasts"—revolutionized how we perceive nature. In this activity, students will create their own interpretations of trees using vibrant, exaggerated colors, avoiding traditional browns and greens. Inspired by iconic Fauvist artists, emphasize composition with dynamic placements that move off the page. This exercise encourages boldness and creativity, teaching how color shapes emotion and perception in landscapes.
