Dots....

A dot never hold any significant meaning but in the world of design, dots are used to create outstanding artwork. Drawing technique that uses dots is called pointillism.

Pointillism is a drawing technique which apply small, distinct dots of pure colour to form an image. This technique were developed by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac in 1886. This technique requires the artist to blend and mix the colour spots into full range tones. One of the most famous artwork by Georges Seurat using pointillism technique was a painting called "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte". Georges spent two years to finish the painting.

Another famous artist who uses dots in their artwork is Yayoi Kusama. She uses bright colour dots in her artwork most of which exhibit her thematic interest in psychedelic colours, repetition and patterns. One of her work called "Ascension of Polka Dots on the Trees" was displayed at the Singapore Biennale 2006 on Orchard Road, Singapore.
