About Georges Seurat (1859-1891)

Georges Seurat was a French Post-Impressionist painter. Born in 1859, he is best known for his innovative techniques and his pioneering use of the scientific method in the creation of art. Seurat is considered one of the leading figures of the Pointillist movement, which sought to capture the effects of light and color in a scene. He was known for his precise, scientific approach to painting, and his works often convey a sense of harmony and balance.

Over time, Seurat's innovative techniques and imaginative depictions of modern life earned him a place as one of the greatest painters of all time. Today, Seurat's works can be found in major museums around the world, and he remains one of the most famous and beloved artists of all time.

I have been involved with and using the Meet the Masters Art Curriculum for about 20 years. I started out as a parent volunteer at my son’s former elementary school in Orange County, and then went on to facilitate and coordinate a Meet the Masters Art program at Maranatha Christian Academy in Santa Ana. This just goes to show how successful and user friendly this art program really is!

The biggest blessing for me, is being involved with such an amazing and diverse curriculum that draws kids in to the world of art, the lives of the artist, as well as the history behind the great masters. I know that their love of learning about art is translated into the many art projects that Meet the Masters offers.
