Meet Georges Seurat. French painter. Color scientist. Inventor of a whole new style.
He didn’t just paint pictures.
He built them, dot by dot, using a technique he called Pointillism.
His most famous painting, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, took three years to complete. That’s right. Three. Years. Of tiny dots.
But Seurat wasn’t slow. He was meticulous.
He believed colors could blend in your eyes, not on the palette. And he refused to use black or brown. Only rainbow colors. Just like nature.
That’s why we chose Seurat as one of our 35 master artists.
Your students will love him.
Here’s what they’ll learn:
- The science of color
- Warm vs. cool hues
- How to blend colors without mixing them
- How to create reflections and shadows using complementary colors
- Patience, focus, and creative problem solving
And they’ll do more than just learn about Seurat.
They’ll work like him.
Every student will create their own sailboat seascape using Pointillism, on sandpaper, with crayons!
It’s a magical blend of texture, color theory, and fine motor skills.
And we’ve made it incredibly easy to teach.
Our program includes:
- Step-by-step scripts
- Age-specific project levels (K–8+)
- Slides, visual aids, and warmup activities
- Volunteer instructions and supply guides
- Artist profile slips for every project
Whether your school owns the full Meet the Masters program, has just a few artists, or hasn’t started yet, we’ve got a path for you.
