Classroom Considerations
  • Does not include paintings by Seurat, so you'll need to find your own examples online or in a book
  • The plan references pattern worksheets for students to practice on, which are not included; however, pupils can easily create original pieces or use pages from a coloring or stencil book

 

Pros
  • Each step of the process is paired with a color image
  • Provides the opportunity for practice and mastery of pointillism
Cons
  • None
