Seurat's Dots!

"Lots of Dots!"
This is a project the classes have been doing lately. The drawing was created by placing lots of dots next to and overlapping each other. When you look at this from a distance, the colored dots blend together to create new colors. This was a technique created by the artist Georges Seurat, a post impressionist very interested in precision and the symbolic and emotional meanings of color. It sometimes took him 2 years to complete one painting. Try this project and you will understand why!
