Readers see full-color photographs of some of his most famous pieces, such as A Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jatte. Close-up images of small parts of the works call readers attention to interesting details, like the child in this painting whos looking straight out of the canvas. Through clear instructions, readers can learn how to do a pointillist painting, tooif they have the patience!
