Chap 4 Artist Review : Georges Seurat

Georges Seurat was an artist who used techniques called optical color mixture and pointillism to create his artworks. His most famous painting called A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, was created by pointillism where the colors are not blended, but uses small dot of color. The placement of the certain color dots would create a picture looking at it from a far. Then looking at the painting from the distance the colors would blend together creating texture and different shades of the colors, this would be the optical color mixture that Seurat was going for.
