There is an opportunity for the children to learn more about Pointillism. The children's work is displayed as a block in the classroom. Children select a image to record with the digital camera. This could include the selected area of natural colour, their observational colour studies, their own pixel studies, or even a selected area of a large reproduction. The teacher invites the children to review the whole project and discuss the kind of information that should be written to explain what the working process.
Text is written for a home page and two or three illustrative images are selected.
The teacher makes a home page for an on-line pixel gallery in html. Children are also asked to compose labels for their selected images. Children watch as the text and images are assembled in the gallery by the teacher using the administration area. Children invite family and friends are invited to visit the gallery on-line using the URL address. Children understand that digital images are composed of 'pixels' Children use the concept of pixilation creatively within their own art work Children understand the term Pointillism can talk about Pointillist painters and their technique Children talk readily about issues in providing supporting text information for a 'home page' and 'labels' for an on-line gallery display.
