Seurat Lesson for 2nd Grade


This is a student's example of a project I did with second grade on Georges Seurat and Pointillism. We read Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists Georges Seurat by Mike Venezia. To remember the name of the style "Pointillism" I asked the students to point their index finger in there air every time we said "Pointillism!" The students filled in abubble map with Georges Seurat's masteripiece Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte in the center. In each of the 10 bubbles the student wrote a fact they learned about Seurat and his art. We shared our maps as a class for art history review.
