AB-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 6, 1997
THIS WEEK WIT
What’s the Point?
December 2 marks the birth of George Seurat, bom in
France in 1859 and famous for the painting tech
nique known as pointillism. Let children experiment
with the technique for making holiday cards. Give them
a small card or white paper and have them outline a
simple shape, such as a sled or ornament.
\ Then, with cotton swabs and paints, let
X them fill the outline with dots of color,
X being careful not to mix the colors Use
darker colors for the shaded areas
and lighter colors for areas
iilBP turned toward the viewer. Put the
finished cards on the mantel, stand
back, and let your eyes mix the colors from a distance
Painters and poets have leave to lie.
■cr On painting and fighting look aloof. (Both are improved
by keeping your distance.)
