The Magic of Dot Painting
Have you ever seen a painting made of tiny dots? This special way to paint is called Pointillism.
Artists do not mix colors on a board. Instead, they put small dots of bright paint on paper.
They put red dots next to yellow dots. Your eyes mix the dots to see orange.
It is like magic. If you stand close, you only see dots.
If you step back, you see a whole picture. You might see a park, a river, or a tree.
A famous artist named Georges Seurat started this. He loved science and art.
He worked very slowly. He used millions of dots to make one big picture.
You can try this art at home. Use a cotton swab or the eraser of a pencil.
Dip it in paint and tap the paper. Make a beautiful picture with your own dots!
