1. Art Masterpiece “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” George Seurat (1859-1891) Today in Art Masterpiece we studied French Pointillist artist Georges Seurat and his Masterpiece “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte ”. Seurat studied the scientific approach to color and devised a system to capture light, shadow and shades of color by juxtaposing dots of pure color on the canvas, making his paintings unique. Your young artist made a Pointillist Masterpiece in the style of Seurat. We enjoyed sharing with your child. Please ask him/her about what he/she learned and created in Art Masterpiece.

2. Art Masterpiece “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” George Seurat (1859-1891) Today the Art Masterpiece program was presented to your child’s class. We discussed the Neo-Impressionist, Georges Seurat, the originator of Pointillism. Seurat was influenced by emerging scientific discoveries of color theory, optical effects and perception. He covered this ten foot canvas with a carefully-considered juxtaposition of dots of pure color which the eye of the viewer blends optically. The students created their own Pointillism Masterpiece by completing an entire painting using only dots. We hope your child enjoyed today’s lesson as much as we did.
