POINTILLISM

 POINTILLISM

POINTILLISM is a  painting technique. The artist creates a composition with very small dots of colour.

Each dot is a pure colour but from a distance, the dots create new tones and shapes.

DOTS, DOTS, DOTS...

Look at the following pictures. Can you see the dots? This week we´ve been working on Pointilism.

POINTILLISM

• It is a technique in which small dots of colour are applied instead of brushtokes. 
• When observed from a distance, you get to see color patches instead of dots.                       
• Henri Cross and  Georges Pierre Seurat were some of the artists who worked in the Pointillist style.

Here are some of their works.

We have used the Pointillist technique to complete the drawing " The starry night" by Van Gogh.
