  1. Pointillism in Pairs Jen Chai

  2. Intro Activity: To Mix, or Not To Mix • If I have two primary colors of paint, do I NEED to mix them in order to make a secondary color? • Turn to your partner and discuss what you think

  3. Why do you think the cards were green, orange, and purple even though the primary colors were never mixed?

  4. What is pointillism? • Tiny dots of primary colors are used to create secondary colors • Together, the dots may be used to create an image without any mixing • One of the main focuses is on style of brushwork

  5. What is Impressionism? • A style of painting that began in France from the 1860s to the 1880s • Light, spontaneous style • Natural subject matter • Pointillism emerged at the end of Impressionism, or Post-Impressionism

  6. Sample #1 Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jette, Georges Seurat, 1884-1886

  7. Sample #2

  8. Sample #3

  9. What do you think? • From a distance, does it look like the paintings are made out of dots? • Even though all the artists used pointillism, why do some of these paintings look like they are made of dots, and some do not? • If you were to paint using pointillism, how would you paint yours?

  10. Laulima (Cooperation) • How long do you think it takes to make an image using pointillism? • Would it be faster with one person or more than one person?

  11. The Big Ideas Making an entire picture using only dots can be a difficult task. These artists put a lot of time and dedication into their work. To help make difficult tasks easier, we can work together. The Hawaiian value, Laulima, means cooperation, or working together to reach a common goal.

  12. Pointillism in Pairs • With your partner, spend 3 minutes to find a common interest (for example: sports, shopping, surfing) • Spend two minutes deciding on an image that represents that interest (for example: a football, a shopping bag, a wave) • Using q-tips and paint, work with your partner to create your picture using pointillism

  13. Further on… This Art Talk will lead into: • Students experiencing Pointillism in their own artwork • Students learning about other styles of art that emerged in during Impressionism • Students will have opportunity to choose a style that they are interested in to create their own final art product
