WHEN DID IT
START?Pointillism, also known as
Neo-Impressionism, started in
the 19th Century.
Georges Seurat was perhaps
one of the most famous artists
within this movement.

The Pointillism technique
relies on the ability of the
eye and mind of the
viewer to blend the
colour spots into a fuller
range of tones.

The technique involves layering
different coloured dots on top of each
other. When seen from far away, it’s like
an optical illusion: dots blend together
and create a new colour. A simple
example of this would be dots of red
and yellow, which would appear as
orange from far away.

Instead of using brush strokes, small dots and
dashes of colour are applied to the paper...

GEORGES

Georges Seurat (December 2, 1859 - March
29, 1891) was a French painter and
draftsman. His large and most famous
painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of
La Grande Jatte, altered the direction of
modern art by initiating Neo-impressionism,
and is one of the icons of 19th century
painting.

Magazines
combine small
dots made up of
primary colours
Magenta, Cyan
and Yellow.
The method used
for creating an
image in a
magazine is
called OPTICAL
MIXING.A computer
screen is made
up of PICTURE
ELEMENTS or
PIXELS. Each
pixel has a red,
green, and blue
element that can
be controlled to
produce the
desired colour.
