Georges Seurat & Pointillism

4th class took inspiration from Georges Seurat in this particular art lesson. Seurat was an artist who lived in Paris, France in the late 1800’s. He started to explore the science of optics and colour in his artwork and developed the style of Pointillism.

Instead of mixing colours together on a paint palette or canvas, he experimented with creating tiny dots of colour next to each other on a canvas. This would trick your eye into mixing the colours together to form the picture.

Have a look at the wonderful art that 4th class created and the processes involved.
