Moreau class consisted of about 50 students the classes where loud with easels and stools being thrown around shouting and music being played. There where different sets of people in the class the rich set that talked about sport mainly horses then there where the hooligans. These accounts come from former students from the time. The serious students like Matisse had to find a quiet spot in the studio to get on with there work.
None of the students mentioned Had yet created work that resembles Fauvism art.
