Pointillism is an off shoot of the impressionist movement that uses tiny dots of color to create bigger images. Kind of like magic eyes, when you get up real close it's nothing but dots, but step back further and you can see the painting for what it really is. Another one of those "the whole is more than a sum of its parts" type of project.
