A Sunday well spent
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is a painting by French artist Georges Seurat. It was painted in 1884 and it shows Parisians at a park on the banks of the River Seine. It uses a technique called pointillism where small, distinct dots of colour are applied in a pattern to form an image.
For Parisians, Sunday was the day to escape the heat of the city and head for the shade of the trees and the cool breezes that came off the river, this is what we see when we first look at the painting.
Here’s an activity for you, the below image is the original painting. The one below it has errors. Can you spot the differences?
