Artist of the Week-George Seurat

          
 George Seurat

What did he paint?




 






This painting called "A Sunday Afternoon on the the Island of La Grande Jatte," or "Sunday in the Park," is made entirely of tiny dots of paint applied to the canvas to make a picture.

Can you see the dots?


Here they are very close up!


What do you like to draw?

What can I learn from him?
Pointillism-  Small distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image.

 Now you try it!
Make a painting or drawing by just making dots on your paper. You can use a pencil, crayons, paint, marker, or pen.
