Exciting news for Grade 3! We have a new Art curriculum! April 20th teachers all over our district had a professional development day and our Grade level was lucky enough to review our new Art program for part of our sessions.
Our next Art lesson after my session we put our new curriculum to good use. We have begun a study on pointilism. In particular we are learning about Georges Seuret. Maybe you have heard of him or you have seen some of his work...
Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure colour are applied in patterns to form an image.Up close the painting looks like a bunch of dots but as you step farther away the dots form an image. Ask your son or daughter about pointillism-they have become experts and would love to explain this incredible technique to you! Below are a few pointillism pieces created by Marcus, Stuart and Rebecca. Enjoy!
