This week is going to be about Georges Seurat.

“Some say they see poetry in my paintings; I see only science.”


So, who was George? 

Well, he was a French artist and this one of his most iconic paintings:

Georges Seurat Art Projects for Kids
'A Sunday afternoon on the island of La Grande Jatte'
It has a really cool effect thanks to Seurat's favourite painting technique - pointillism

In POINTILLISM, tiny dots of colour are put together, repeatedly, till it fills in an entire area. Your brain will mix it ip so your eyes will see a single picture rather than a combination of dots. 

You can find that and read more about him here:



What are we going to do?

We are going to do a pointillism art choosing the design that you prefer. 

There are different ways to do it and it will depend on what you like and the art supplies that you have at home. I'm going to give you two easy choices this time, feel free to choose the one that you prefer or something new, it's up to you! 




                                                     First Choice #StepbyStep 

You will need paints or watercolour, a piece of paper ... and cotton buds! Although you can use a brush too.
