Georges Seurat

Last term Lillie spent a few happy weeks learning all about the Impressionist painters.  She studied one artist for two weeks.  This week’s artist is Georges Seurat who is well known for his pointillism.

  • Carry out a study of the chosen piece of work by Seurat and write a blog post reviewing it.  Lillie has written the review and posted it to her own blog which you can find here:Georges Seurat
  • Produce your own copy or variation of the chosen painting/sculpture:Georges Seurat seurat-2 Georges Seurat And her final piece:Georges Seurat
  • Lillie had the privilege of seeing the original ‘Bathers at Asnières’ painting when we went to The National Gallery together (apologies for quality – I haven’t quite figured out my phone yet 🙂  ):Georges Seurat

I think I have one more artist to write about, which is Renoir.
