Fauvism is For the Birds!

Description:

Les Fauves (translation: "The Wild Beasts") were a group of artists whose work was characterized by seemingly wild brush work and strident colors. The colors the Fauves used are also favored by wild birds. Hummingbirds like red, orange and pink. Songbirds prefer colors that mimic trees and bushes. To see which species of birds are attracted to these "beastly" colors, students create a painted, hanging birdfeeder from a stretched canvas or "upcycled" wooden frame.
