Pointillism is a form of painting in which tiny dots of primary colours are used to generate secondary colours. It is a technique of painting in which small distinct dots of colour create the impression of a wide selection of other colours and optical blending.

Famous Pointillism artists:

Georges Seurat

Paul Signac

Henri-Edmond Cross

In Unit Two we have been painting using the pointillism style. Here are some examples:-
