Pointillism, in a Nutshell
Pointillism is an art technique that involves applying small strokes or dots of color to a surface, with these paint particles visually blending together from a distance. A scientific approach to art, don't you think? Moreover, Georges Seurat, our inspiration, believed that this technique allowed the eye to mix the colors, much like how computer monitors work today with their pixels. Neat, huh?

Why Art with the Kids, You Ask?
Kids have a natural curiosity, and they observe, explore, and imitate the world around them to figure things out. Art allows them to practice a wide range of skills, such as aesthetics, science, interpersonal communication, and practical interactions through their senses, intellect, and emotions. It's always good for them!
