seurat's pointillism- 4th grade




Seurrat's way of art is very complicated in many diffrent ways. The type of art he does is called pointillism. Pointillism is when you use very tiny dots to form an object on a painting. when we did are paintings we did it a little bit differently then seurat's paintings. We made pointillism on musical notes. there where diffrent choices of colers like orange,red,blue,and purple.the way we did it differently was that we did the dots with q-tips instead of what seurat used to do pointillism. Did you know that it took Seurat 2 years (1883-1884) to complete his most famous painting? It was called La Grande Jatte and it was huge-10 feet wide by 6 feet tall and is on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.

pointillism is very fun!!
