Copy a Seurat painting – Study an original painting and try to recreate it.

Copy and review a Seurat painting – Study an original painting and try to recreate it, then write an evaluation of your work.

Paint a scene like Seurat – Reproduce the photograph as if you were Seurat painting the view.

Transform a photo into a Seurat painting – Use our clever ‘instant pointillism tool to make a Post-Impressionist painting.

• Georges Seurat (pronounced “Zh-or-zh Ser-rah”) is famous for developing the technique known as ‘pointillism’ where things are painted through combining lots of little coloured dots (‘point’ means dot in French).
• He was French and lived between 1859 and 1891.
• The Post-Impressionists took the techniques of Impressionism further. They kept the visible brush marks but didn’t use realistic colours and were not concerned with capturing the effects of light.
