Pointillism

Pointillism is defined as ‘the practice of applying small strokes or dots of colour to a surface so that from a distance they visually blend together’.

Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism.

For our autumn term project, we firstly watched a series of videos describing the techniques of Pointillism.

Some of us have then experimented with the technique using various media and forms of application.
