This week we discussed pointillism and looked at some work of Seurat's. We took a close up look at the dots in his paintings and discussed complimentary colors. Using the color wheel, students could see that complimentary colors are directly across from each other. Before students started painting with their finger instead of a brush, we looked at images of hydrangea blooms for inspiration! Next, student's chose two colors that complimented each other and painted dots with their fingers creating hydrangea blooms!
