  • As you create with the children talk
    with them about the artist, and their
    particular style.  Younger children
    can learn about primary colors.
  • Cut out the above artist card and
    apply to the back of their work.
Step 1
Print up a few black line coloring
pages.  Look for landscapes, and
ordinary objects online.
Step 2
Find some brand new erasers on
your pencils.
Step 4
Hold the pencil vertical and make a
dot on your paper!
Step 3
Tip: Use the lids of your paints,
there will be plenty!  Dip your erase
into the paint, very gently!
Step 6
Leave spaces between the dots to
add in other colors.
Step 8
When your all done painting, you
can cut around your picture and add
a construction paper frame if you like.

Optional Method for Older Children:
My kiddos are young, so I printed them up a
coloring sheet with thick dark lines to guide them.  
Older chidlren can make their own pictures with
light pencil and then use pointilism techniques to
color them.  Additionally instead of paint, they can
use fine tip markers for more detailed dots.  (paint
makes the page fill up quicker for younger children
but the effect is not as dramatic as with small fine
tip markers)
Georges Seurat was known for
Neo-Impressionism, using
pointillism techniques.
Step 5
When you want to change colors
use a wipee or a wet paper towel to
wipe your eraser.
Step 7
Try to use a variety of colors but
resist the urge to blend them on the
paper.  You want dots.
All Done!
Hang up your art and stand way far
back!  Look for where your colored
dots are blending together...do they
still look like dots from far away?
