An important Post-Impressionist French painter; Georges Seurat moved away from the apparent spontaneity and rapidity of Impressionism and developed a structured; more monumental art to depict modern urban life. Seurat studied avant-garde painting techniques; especially Impressionism and the latest scientific theories pertaining to light and color. From 1885 to 1886 he developed the divisionist depicting. This new style; which consisted of systematically applied small touches of unmodulated color; was based on contemporary optical theories of color relationships. For several of his large compositions; Seurat painted many small studies. For his study drawings he used black Conteacute; crayon to create gradations of tone on the textured paper; achieving effects akin to those in his pointillist paintings; in which he juxtaposed dots of pure colors that blended optically to produce another color.

Excellent resourceBy ArtchickHaving taught classes as a graduate student and now; as a part time lecturer at a state university; I have found this text to be excellent as essential support; a course framework; and a terrific reminder of everything I need to remember in my own artwork; as well as necessary knowledge for my students. Teaching any art course necessitates thorough art knowledge as well as solid pedagogical skills; which most art graduate students and new faculty simply do not have. "The Art of teaching art" provides a strong resource for this unfortunate but common situation. I highly recommend it!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very Useful Book for Studio Art Instructors/Profs.By W. DonovanThis book has a detailed and useful chapter on perspective. The chapters are filled with examples of student work. Besides that it has good examples of syllabi and materials lists; and I used it the first semester I taught to put together my syllabi. It has a high utility; and I find myself digging through the bookshelf once or twice a semester to brush up on something.
