Working on Pointillism is code for, you better be patient, and patient my artist were. We began our project by watching a video on YouTube about Seahorses Next we discussed French Chemist Michel Chevreul, focusing on his study of color interaction leading to his discovery of Simultaneous Contrast. When placed side by side, these colors can appear altered especially at a distance. Complementary colors are intensified when next to each other or when overlapped. Below are a couple of sources about Michel Chevreul http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/simultaneous.html http://lipidsarenice.weebly.com/biography-of-michel-eugeacutene-chevreul.html I showed students work from Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Seurat was inspired by Chevreul's findings and began to apply these findings in his art work thus creating Divisionism, later coined Pointillism by critics. Students first practiced on a couple of worksheets using Crayola markers. After practicing on the worksheets, students drew their design in pencil then outlined their seahorses and its habitat in marker. Students used primary, secondary, and intermediate colors dots to create a variety of values. In the background, students created a pattern using complementary colors. During the process, the artists stood back to watch the dots disappear. I admire their patience during the process! Ali Niki Audrey Katie Saron Sarah Victoria
