Plants in Our Midst - From Dot to Dot

 

For today’s art activity, we experimented with “pointillism”.

** Pointillism is the painting technique that uses a number of small coloured dots or points, that, when viewed from afar, form an image or picture. One famous painter who used pointillism in some of his paintings was Vincent Van Gogh. In order to find inspiration for today’s activity, we looked at some of Van Gogh’s work.

The children showed an understanding that this technique requires a lot of time and patience.

Roy “Can I take a break and come paint later?”

Bela “So many dots, but still so much room!”
