Optical mixing is taking 2 colors and dividing them to make an accurate mixture that the eye can see so light waves can make the nature of the color that's being applied.

1.) He was interested in dividing colour to make a mixture that the eyes can see, letting the light create the colour itself.
2.)Optical colour mixing is the process of putting two colours next to each other to result in a different colour.
3.) Seurat creates the illusion of 3D depth by the diagonal perspective the ground makes (the edge of the lake) and the alternation of light and shadow into the background.

Picasso purchased one of Rousseau's paintings, and had a big banquet in his honor

Rousseau truly believed himself to be a great master, among the likes of even Pablo Picasso. Henri really was very uneducated in art, and didn't ever notice anything off about his paintings.

Rousseau took himself very seriously. He saw himself as a great artist.

Optical color mixing is different dots and dabs of color blend in the mind's eye to create new color sensations more vibrant than the actual pigment used.

Rousseau Thought himself to be highly skilled artist.

He started paint when he retired from his job

He got famous once the one and only Pablo Picasso bought one of his paintings

No mainly because to me it seems like his art isn't "special" like i could find pictures like what he has made in baby books.... I feel like i have...

Henri Rousseau finally became famous due to young Pablo Picasso, an educated well known artist discovered his work and displayed it for others to view and judge.

Georges Seurat was interested in incorporating science into his paintings most in the painting process. He wanted to add an illuminating element and brightness to the methods of Impressionism.

I believe Henri Rousseau thought of himself as a world renowned artist. He boasted of his travels around the world and let people believe that that he was an educated and sophisticated artist.

Optical color mixing is putting two colors right next to each other to create the illusion of making a new color

Henri Rousseau became famous when a young, well known artist discovered his art and endorsed it.

Optical color mixing is created through our perception of color. When one looks at two small amounts of different colors laid down side by side the two appear to create a different color.
