Spring in Provence

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella, and I'm so excited to explore this colorful painting with you today! It's called "Spring in Provence." Can you say "Provence?" It's a beautiful place in France! nn This painting is like a giant coloring book, but instead of using crayons, the artist used tiny, tiny dots of paint! Can you believe it? nn Look closely! Do you see all the little dots? That's called Pointillism. It's like a magic trick! The dots are so close together that our eyes blend them together to make all these amazing colors. nn What colors do you see? nn Now, let's look at what's in the painting. What do you see? nn That's right, it's a tree! But not just any tree, it's a tree covered in beautiful flowers. Can you imagine smelling all those flowers? nn And look! There's a person walking under the tree. What do you think they're thinking about as they enjoy this beautiful spring day? nn This painting makes me feel happy and warm, like a sunny day in spring. How does it make you feel? nn Let's go look at some more amazing art!
