Pointillism from the Birth to Adulthood
Pointillism has truly been the beginning of a new error within time itself. Its creation came from an offshoot of Impressionism, and is usually classified as a form of Post-Impressionism. It is very similar to Divisionism, but where Divisionism is concerned with the color theory, Pointillism is focused more so on the specific style of the brushwork in which was used to apply the paint. While being “A style of painting in which non-primary colors are generated, not by mixing of pigments in the palette nor by using pigments directly, but by the visual mixing of points from primary colors placed in close proximity to each other.” (Wikipedia.org) While George Seurat was credited for the birth of Pointillism, he used a normal scientific approach to his paintings abstruse color theories recedes somewhat.

In doing this the dots blended together and created tones from when you would look at it from a distance. “This means that with the same set of

This same principles of using “tiny small dots” (Winipedi.org) to create the print outs of the first dot matrix printers, that are still in use today in some areas of the business world. Televisions and computer screens, however; in black and white or green in color, uses the concept of precise placement of vertical and horizontal lines. You can see this more so on the older televisions if you get close to them by seeing the small dots on the outer screen. The same holds true in today’s modern colored televisions, computer screens, plasma televisions, and almost all other visual screens in these modern times. As to holding true to the principles of horizontal and vertical lines, so does the principle concept of the colors red, blue, and green set fourth by Seurat, and still applies to the modern world of electronics that we take for granted today. However; some wording has been changed there. The vertical and horizontal lines today are known as a bit map and each dot is represented as a pixel along a horizontal axis or role.
