Creating Vibrant Artworks Through the Ancient Technique of Pointillism

Dot Art, also known as Pointillism, is a creative technique that builds detailed images using small, individual dots of color. Rather than mixing shades on a palette, the colors blend visually when viewed from a distance, resulting in artwork that is vibrant, textural, and intricately layered.

This workshop introduced students to the fundamentals of dot art, covering color relationships, pattern formation, and step-by-step dotting techniques.

The program combined traditional theatrical techniques with contemporary movement practices, creating a comprehensive learning experience that prepared students for diverse performance contexts.
