Dots and Pictures
Together we will examine the painters’ themes. We will look at their depictions of peasants and laborers in the country and in the city during the late 19th century, as well as their paintings of a harmonic, ideal world. In addition, we will explore the technique of creating forms by means of dots and color contrasts, and experiment with the optical effects individual colors have upon the eye.
Afterwards, the children can create “pointillist” pictures made of dots based on a model or using their own imagination.
Duration: approx. 1.5 hours
