  1. Science and Art-Connections? Ryan Porter

  2. Georges Seurat 1859-1891 • Impressionist painter. • Well known for his technique of pointillism. • Pointillism- developed in France in the 1880s in which tiny dots of color are applied to the canvas. • When viewed from a distance, the points of color appear to blend together to make other colors and to form shapes and outlines.

  3. Seurat’s technique uses the same optical illusion that today’s newspapers and magazines use in their printing.

  4. Pointillism • Seurat's dots may be seen as a kind of collage. They compel us also to see the picture as a finely structured surface made up of an infinite number of units attached to the canvas.
