Task 2 – Choose the correct amount of coins to make the amount. You can either circle these or draw them yourself.
Task 3 – Find 3 different ways of making the following amounts.
Topic: Art Pointillism
Pointillism is a painting technique invented by painters like George Seurat and Paul Signac. While impressionists used small dabs of paint as part of their technique, Pointillism took this to the next level using only small dots of pure colour to compose an entire painting!
We are going to have a go at making our very own pieces of art using this style of painting. You can even give it a go using felt tip pens. I have provided a video showing how to achieve this technique using cotton buds to create this effect.
Here is some inspiration and a list of what you might need and how you can start creating your painting…

Stuck for what to draw? Why not use you fovourite colouring page, then instead of colouring it in use pointilism instead!
