Ms Staines’s Class – Art Update – T2-W3

This week, students completed their Pointillism artworks inspired by Post-Impressionist artist Georges Seurat. By patiently applying dots of colour, they were able to see how individual marks come together to form images and visual effects.

Students who finished their Pointillism pieces explored the ballet paintings of Edgar Degas. They observed how Degas captured movement and gesture, then practiced expressing motion through drawing. Students also shared their thoughts and discussed the artworks they found most interesting.

Overall, this week continued to build connections between art history and creative practice, while encouraging careful observation, expression, and discussion.
