1 Fauvism was an art movement popular in France from 1904 to 1908 that was known for its use of vivid color. Fauves is the French word for ‘the wild beasts’. The use of wild color is the focus in this artwork and it is used to express feeling. The leader of this movement was artist Henri Matisse.
2. Take a look at the work of fauvism artist work on the fauvism link. Examine his non-traditional use of color. Use your imagination to create your own fauvist landscape composition.

If you do not have colored pencils you may use any art materials.
