    The document introduces Georges Seurat, a 19th century French artist known for developing the Pointillism technique. It discusses how Seurat used small dots of different colors that blend optically when viewed from a distance, rather than mixing the paint on the canvas. The remainder of the document provides instructions for a student art project where they will practice Pointillism by creating a dot painting of their happy place.
