My art parent cancelled on me last week, so I had to come up with an art lesson quick! Always having done a successful pointillism lesson in the spring, I drew a few holiday pictures and adapted the lesson to the season.
Starfall.com has some wonderful books on artists. For this lesson, I showed the Georges Seurat book on my interactive white board. The book shows his paintings and has a magnifying tool that allows the reader to zoom in on the detail of the dots used in several paintings. The students were amazed!
To complete our paintings, we used cotton tips and tempura paint. Now we have some Christmas art on display in our hallway!
