  Lesson 1 | Lesson 2 | Lesson 3 Unit: Post Impressionism Project: Pointillism Featured Artist: Georges Seurat Objectives: 1. Identify different pointillism paintings. 2. Use primary colored combinations to create secondary colors. 3. Recognize pointillism technique in works by Seurat and students. 4. Evaluate the use of tools and technique. Materials Provided: • Pattern worksheet • Q-tips • Paint Index cards • Plastic cups • Materials Needed: • Newspaper to cover the table Vocabulary: 1. Pointillism: a style of painting in which small distinct points of primary colors create the impression of a wide selection of secondary and intermediate colors. 2. Primary colors: red, yellow and blue pigment; pure colors from which other colors are mixed. 3. Secondary colors: Orange, green and violet; obtained by mixing equal parts of two primary colors. Motivation: 1. Show and discuss examples of paintings by Seurat that use pointillism. 2. Demonstrate all steps of practice techniques and procedure before students begin. 3. Show students the finished project. Instruction:  1. Practice Seurat’s pointillism technique. Place each of the primary colors of paint into the clear plastic cups. Use three different Q-tips and three index cards to create three secondary colors. 2. Dip the end of a Q-tip into one of the primary colors such as blue, using only small dots, create a medium sized circle on one of the pieces of index cards. Fill in the circle so that there are equal parts white and blue. Let the color dry and repeat the same steps with the other two colors and index cards. Be sure to use a different Q-tip for each color. 3. Once the first colored circle has dried use a Q-tip from one of the other colors, such as red, and dot in the color in the white spots left. Once there are about equal parts of each color set the card aside and let dry. Repeat the steps with the two remaining colors making sure to use a different combination of colors for each of the three cards. 4. Once you have practiced the pointillism techniques choose a pattern worksheet to use the techniques just practiced.  5. Color in each section with one of the six colors (three primary and three secondary). Experiment with using small amounts of one color and a more abundant amount of the other to create different shades of secondary colors. 6.Evaluation: 1. Use a combination of primary colors to create a secondary color? 2. Use correct pointillism technique to produce clean borders? 3. Evaluate completed work? |
