Digital Pointillism Landscape PaintingsAfter learning about the history of the pointillist painting technique, the students began their own paintings in an app called Paper by 53. Some of the paintings below are based on photographs of existing places, some are from stills in a film, and some are completely imagined, but all were created by simply grouping dots of color, much in the way Georges Seurat would have. The only major difference in our work is that it was done digitally as opposed to using traditional paint. Grid Portrait DrawingsThe students learned about portraiture by studying the work of artists like Frida Khalo, Leonardo Da Vinci and Marc Chagall. After learning how artists like Al Hirschfeld made caricatures, and experimenting in that style, the students set forth to create their own portraits using a grid technique popularized by Chuck Close. Some students chose to draw themselves or a family member, while others decided to draw a celebrity.
