“La Besace” is the seventh fable from Jean de La Fontaine’s Fables. For this school project, I was tasked with transforming a fable into an animated film while adapting the style of a renowned artist. I chose Henri Matisse, drawn to his bold colors and fluid shapes.

I handled every step of the project—from interpreting the fable to designing characters and animating scenes in Matisse’s signature style. This project challenged me to blend classic literature with modern art, resulting in an engaging and visually distinct animation.
