Pointalism

Pointalism was a style of painting that used points of colour and relied on the eye and brain to blend them into a meaningful picture.

1. Learn about pointalism by recreating part of one of Seurat's paintings. Title your work on the front of the paper with the same name as Seurat's so we know which work you were copying. Put your name in the lower right hand corner of the picture. You may choose felts, or pencil crayons, or other tools, but keep in mind their strengths and weaknesses.

You can read about Seurat and see some of his paintings at the WebMuseum and see a lot of Seurat's paintings at artunframed.com.

2. Create a picture of your own using pointalism.
