ART

Pointillism can be described quite simply—it’s an art movement named after a technique in which small, distinct dots of color are applied to a surface to form an image.

Today, the term "dotted art" is also commonly used. It refers more broadly to the use of small colored dots to create images, regardless of the historical context or artistic movement. While Pointillism has specific historical roots and implications, modern dotted art is often seen as a stylistic technique employed by various artists across different artistic contexts.

The birth of Pointillism can be traced back to Paris during the time of Impressionism, where artists began to explore new ways of capturing light and color on canvas.
