Pointillism Art Work

Pointillism is an original form of art created by George Seurat and also used by Claude Monet. Pointillism is a bunch of tiny dots formed together to make a picture.  In our art lesson we used pointillism instead of using a paintbrush and just painting because pointillism is brighter and it stands out! When two colors are next to each other, your eye mixes them and that is called optical mixing. Using optical mixing instead of physically mixing can make a brighter picture.

Pointillism takes a long time.  As you can tell, the artists of Portable 3 took their time to create these masterpieces!!!

*some of the pictures are sideways and I couldn't turn them around - sorry!!!
