The first Element of Art is a POINT.
A point is a dot or a period. As soon as the pencil touches the paper a point is made. This element is unavoidable in the creation of art. A point can become anything it wishes to become. A point is technically one-dimensional, it holds in space but does not have width and height. Points can hold a place, begin or end another element. Points can create a specific kind of art called stipple. Stipple is when the entire drawing is created with the use of points only. Pointillism was created by George Pierre Seurat in painting with Post-Impressionism. He painted using only the purest colors using only dots of paint. The eye would blend the color he wished to create called opitical blending. When a point moves in any single direction it becomes a line.
