Georges Seurat: Goals for this Study
- Read about Georges Seurat and his paintings and create a scrap book page with a gallery of Georges Seurat’s paintings and a short biography:
- To learn about pointillism as a method of painting, and how it works:
- 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:
- Produce your own copy or variation of the chosen painting/sculpture:
And her final piece:
- 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 🙂 ):
I think I have one more artist to write about, which is Renoir.
