I have been tossing the idea of blogging my experiences teaching art for quite a while and have finally managed to sit down and do it at last. This blog is intended for anyone who is looking for ideas/inspiration for teaching art for young children. Watching kids create art is the most amazing, rewarding experience! This blog will be a day-to-day (hopefully) account of activities that I am doing and hopefully full of ideas that you can use with kids.

Grade 3 - Pointillism (Card Making)
Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. The term "Pointillism" was first coined by art critics in the late 1880's to ridicule the works of these artists, and is now used without its earlier mocking connotation.
