The day
of our Exhibit

Seurat’s technique is intensely personal. But the dots are not simply a technique; they are a tangible surface and the ground of important qualities.

Born in 1941 in East Germany. Inspired by banal mass-produced imagery, Polke recast it, infusing it with his own brand of humor.

Motifs, referring to palm trees, reveal a nostalgia for leisure time and exotic places.

These two painters had great experiences visiting and painting North Africa.

We'll take a look at their work and discover the rules of watercolor.

The "Classicist" period of Picasso's work will be the focus of this day.

Using this style we'll create a beach scene with card boards, sand, paint, seashells...
