~Pencil Eraser Pointillism~

  French Post-Impressionist painter and draftsman Georges Pierre Seurat used a technique of applying pure color dots instead of brushstrokes on a canvas. The style is called pointillism. With some pencil erasers, we created a similar effect.



All you will need is some pencils with unused erasers (one for each color), heavy paper or cardboard and paints. We used a pencil to sketch a simple design on the paper. To apply each color, lightly dip the eraser into the paint, then dab it onto the paper. Our pointillists might not look like Seurats', but the boys had fun making their own masterpieces.
