What is Pointillism?
Oak Tree by: Dan Shefchik
This painting to the left is a an amazing example of what I had in mind for your paintings in class! There is a simplification of nature--seeing the shapes, spaces, and contrast of lights and darks, and the use of color to show light. It is breathtaking! I hope you are inspired by these beautiful paintings!!!

The Modern art/contemporary art movement of Pointillism succeeded the modern art movement of Impressionism. Pointillism was a natural progression from Impressionism as it was an extension of the idea that the artist could create a painting which represented an object/image as if you were viewing it at a glance.
The modern art/contemporary art movement of Pointillism was first coined as 'Pointillism' in the late 1880s. The great pioneers behind the modern art movement of Pointillism were the likes of: Georges Pierre Seurat, Paul Signac and Henri Edmond Cross.
There were few participants of Pointillism as the modern art movement was not taken at all seriously by art critics at the time.
The idea behind the modern art/contemporary art movement of pointillism was to paint in minuscule dots. The effect was a painting that looked dream like and fairy tale like.

Wycinanki (vee-chee-nan-kee) is a POLISH version of the art form of...
PAPER CUTTING
Wycinanki originated with sheperds cutting designs out of tree bark and leather. Paper wycinanki dates from the mid-nineteenth century. Colorful wycinanki were pasted on furniture or roof beams as decoration, hung in windows, and given as gifts.
Wycinanki vary by region. For example, wycinanki created in the Kurpie region are typically all one color, while wycinanki from the Lowicz region are multicolored. Techniques include cutting, clipping, punching, tearing, and carving of paper, as well as nalepianki in which multiple layers are glued together.
Subject matter includes peacocks, roosters, and other birds; circular or star-shaped medallions (gwiazdy); flowers; and annual holidays such as Easter and Christmas. In some towns and villages competitions evolved to create the most beautiful wycinanki. Traditionally done for relaxation in rural Poland, the techniques were passed down through generations, with new themes and ideas developing as the papercuttings became more detailed and intricate.
The POLISH PAVILION at the 2010 World EXPO in Shangahi is based on a wycinanki design.
