The document discusses a lesson where students learned about pointillism by examining Seurat's paintings up close and from a distance. They practiced pointillism techniques by drawing primary colors on the blackboard and mixing primary colors on paper. Students were then given small pieces of paper with paint to create pointillist works mixing only two colors per area, with the teacher monitoring their color combinations. Most students completed their works in class, while others finished at home, and all pieces were displayed in the school corridor.

2. In the first session, we went to the
I.C.T. classroom to look at some Seurat’s
works so pupils could distinguish how
looking at Seurat’s paintings from far
away paintings look like a normal painting
but looking at them closer are actually
made of lots and lots of dots.

3. In the next slide can be seen the painting
we will be working on it.

8.  During
this session we refreshed some
ideas about pointillism. Some students
draw with chalk the primary colours on
the blackbloard. Other ones, were
mixing primary colours to achieve
orange, purple, green,... on a big white
paper.

9.  Then
a “guarro paper” was given out
containing a small portion of the paint in
question.

10. A lot of markers were placed on some tables, T told Ss
only mixing two colours in the same are area
(delimited by lines).
At the beginning, Ss asked to the T the following
question: “Do these colours match?”. After 20’ some
of them knew quite well how to combine colours.
For instance, when colouring the trunk of a tree: Ss
mixed: dark brown with light brown or light brown
with orange.

13. Most of the pupils
finished their works,
the ones who didn’t,
have finished them at
home.

17. All the works have been hung in
the corridor of the school.
