Pointillist Trees

 
The 3/4s painted Pointillist Trees.  They have studied trees in Science.  We learned about the artist Georges Seurat by reading Scholastic Art magazine.  Students identified and described Pointillist paintings.   They created a Pointillist painting of trees showing dimension and form by color mixing.  Tips:  use the back end of the paintbrush, a q-tip or a small brush.  Keep the size of the paper small (9×12″ is plenty).

One Response to Pointillist Trees

    These are really pointillistic artworks, great! Students did'nt outline their trees with dots (many students do!), that's why these are so great I think! Real pointillism. My compliments!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
