Pointillism

---

In this activity we used acrylic paints and the rubbers on pencils, cotton buds and cocktail sticks to create expressive pieces of art in the style of pointillism. Many of the paintings depict the iconic Blackpool Tower in the area we live.

Eileen - 'Fiery sky behind silhouetted trees'

Anne - "Just like my life at the moment - full of turmoil. I feel overwhelmed just like if I was stood on that cliff edge being pounded by the icy cool waves. Life is such a struggle at times. It would be so easy to give in to the waves." 'Seascape with moody sky and crashing waves'

Carole C "I got really involved in this painting and forgot about everything that's going on" 'Sunrise behind textured green hills, and springtime tree with fairy door'

Carole H - 'The island of Grenada, which is Carole's happy place.'

Christine - 'Promenade carpet and Blackpool tower against blue sky'

Jaccie - 'Vibrant sunflower painted on black background'

Kiz - 'St Annes At Sunset'

Tiagan 'Colourful clouds on a blue sky'

Debbie H. 'Blackpool Tower Sunset Over The Sea'

Rachel: I decided to go off route with my painting and I named it 'Neptune's Trident' as I imagined hidden treasures at the bottom of the sea (algae included). I loved the shading that the dots allow for.
