Stippling and Pointillism

Stippling is the creation of a pattern simulating varying degrees of solidity or shading by using small dots. Such a pattern may occur in nature and these effects are frequently emulated by artists.

In a drawing or painting, the dots are made of pigment of a single colour, applied with a pen or brush; the denser the dots, the darker the apparent shade —or lighter, if the pigment is lighter than the surface. This is similar to —but distinct from— pointillism, which uses dots of different colours to simulate blended colours.

Value and Temperature

For the third project of the term we worked the value and the temperature of the colours. The students had to make up their own colour wheel with primary colours and their mixtures. They had to make noticeable changes of value addding black and white to the hue. The final result is this:

They had to divide the circle in six parts and then follow the pattern with the compass as shown in the link below (the compass needle point has to be put in the points 1, 2, 3 and 4, and draw and arc as shown with the line with the arrow).
