The 6th grade class has been learning about insects in science. In art we mixed together their science curriculum with their art history time line. They learned about Georges Seurat and pointillism. They specifically looked at "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" which you can see at this link http://www.artchive.com/artchive/S/seurat/jatte.jpg.html. On square box bottoms that were donated to our art room, the kids first drew out a simple insect line drawing. They then used match sticks to apply the paint in small dots. They are almost finished. The last step is to paint the edges of box, to give it a nice finished look.
