Entrance of La Rochelle Harbor

My name is Isabella, and I will be your guide today through one of our most impressive paintings: "Entrance of La Rochelle Harbor." This painting shows a busy harbor filled with boats! Can you say "harbor?" nn This painting was made by an artist named Paul Signac. He loved to paint water and used lots of tiny dots to make it look like it was sparkling! Do you see all the little dots? That's called Pointillism! nn Look at all the colorful sailboats! Some are sailing, and some are resting. Can you find the tallest boat? What color is it? nn In the background, we can see the city of La Rochelle. See the big white tower? It's very old and important! nn Paul Signac wanted to show us how lively and colorful La Rochelle Harbor was. What do you think he wanted people to feel when they looked at this painting?
