Dotted
Definition
This term refers to a technique in art where dots are used as a primary element in the composition, often creating patterns, textures, or entire images through the repetition and placement of dots, which can range from abstract to representational forms.
History
The use of dots as a technique has been explored in various movements, including Pointillism, where artists used small dots of color to create an image, and in contemporary art, where artists like Yayoi Kusama have used dots to explore themes of infinity, repetition, and the self.

Key Artists & Movements

Techniques & Materials
Techniques involve applying dots of paint, ink, or other media to a surface, often with a focus on the placement, size, and color of the dots to create a desired visual effect. The technique can be used to create intricate patterns, optical effects, or richly textured surfaces.
