What’s Included Over 5 Weeks:
Week 1 – Introduction to Pointillism and Artist Study:
Children are introduced to the art technique of pointillism through the work of Georges Seurat and modern artist Anna Enshina. They learn how to use small, precise dots to build colour and shape, and explore why artists choose this method. Pupils experiment with dotting using cotton buds or fine brushes.
Week 2 – Artist Focus: Anna Enshina
This session dives deeper into the work of Anna Enshina. Children respond to her animal paintings, discussing the use of colour, texture, and dot patterns. They complete a two-page artist response spread, including observational drawing, colour analysis, and a reflection on their emotional response to the artwork.
Week 3 – Exploring Colour Mixing and Texture through Dots:
Children investigate how placing colours side by side can create new colours visually (optical mixing). They create a dot-based colour blending chart and apply this knowledge to a mini painting. Vocabulary includes subtle, vibrant, and optical mixing.
Week 4 – Sketching and Planning a Wildlife Dot Artwork:
Using wildlife photographs for inspiration, children sketch animals with a focus on texture and detail. They plan how to represent feathers, fur, or patterns using dots, experimenting with layout and colour choice. Sketching may be done on iPads or paper.
Week 5 – Creating the Final Piece:
Children bring together all the skills learned to produce a final A4 (or canvas) wildlife artwork using the pointillism technique. They work carefully to layer colours and include meaningful detail. Reflection tasks help pupils evaluate their progress and celebrate their finished piece.
