Working on Pointilism

These students are working hard on pointillism...one dot at a time....

I've asked them to draw their design on scrap paper (without the dots) to practice what will work better through dots. Textured objects work well in pointillism; veggies and fruits, animals, nature and leaves, fish and shells. We are working on small paper(thank goodness).  Every point of color must be put on one dot at a time without scribbling or making small lines.  Take deep breaths everyone and place your dots slowly.  If you get frustrated, just take a break and come back to it later...


Here is some finished work....
