Glitter and Other Fun Things

Everything that has to do with me. From the oh so interesting events that occur during the day, to the thoughts that sometimes keep me up.

Seurat: Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte


This is my second favorite artwork. it took Seurat 2 years to complete this artwork (1884-1886). Seurat is known as the Pop of Dot.
Art history term of the day: Pointillism --> bright colors in tiny dots that when looked at from afar create an image, but when seen close up, just appear as tiny colored dots. it is also known as optical blending.
