Year 4 in the Art Room

The Year 4 students have been inspired by George Seurat. Seurat believed that the artist could create mood, harmony and emotion in art by using colours and lines. He painted using small distinct dots of colours directly on the canvas, without mixing the paint.  This way when you stand a distance away, the dots seem to blend in into the desired colour. His style of painting is called Pointillism.  If you look closely at his paintings you will see that they are made out of many tiny dots. The Year 4 students have experimented with pointillism by painting an apple! They look delicious!
