2. The dot is the simplest element of drawing.
It’s the smallest unit we can draw. Its first
target is to indicate a position.
These dots can be big or small, in color or in
black and white, thick, or thin;
They can be drawn next or very far to
others. They can also be drawn so big that
they are considered circles.
3. • There are two types of dots: geometric dot
and graphic dot.
• Geometric dot: is the point where two
straight lines cross each other and is used
in Technical Drawing, and we call it point.
• Graphic dot: is the simplest element used
in drawing shapes.
4. When a dot is
connected or related
to other dots, it
becomes an element
of expression that can
create compositions.
We can use dots to
colour the objects and
to give them shape,
volume and a sense
of depth.

6. A colour is uniform if dots are at an equal
distance from each other.
If the dots are closer together, the colour is
more intense than if they are further apart.
Dots that are close together
(concentration) make darker areas; dots
that are further apart (dispersion)make
lighter ones.

8. The dot three- dimensional
capacity
• A feeling of depth can be achieve by
overlapping dots, varying its size, color,
texture an location.
13. OPTICAL MIX
• It happens when colours are mixed with
the help of distance.
• Paint is not mixed on the palette or on the
painting.
• The optical mix was used first by the
pointillist.
14. All the images
and pictures
in the
newspapers,
the TV and in
your computer
are made by
dots

16. In the next slide show we will see how dots
have been used in Art and new ways of
making art with them.
