Egyptian street artist Bahia Shehab began taking to the streets
using lines from Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish during the
Egyptian revolution of 2011. Since then, she has taken her peaceful
resistance to the streets of the world, from New York to Tokyo,
Amsterdam to Honolulu. This exhibition catalogue documents not only
Shehab's striking artwork itself, but also the stories of the
people she meets along the way, and her observations from the
streets of each new city she visits. It is her artists manifesto, a
cry for freedom and dignity, and a call to never stop dreaming.
The perfect fun and relaxing art project for adults and children,
this activity pack includes everything needed for readers to make
their own Pointillist sticker masterpiece. Containing 14 sticker
sheets with over three-thousand colored circular stickers and an
18" x 32" (46 x 82.5 cm) poster "canvas" of colored outlines,
readers simply need to match the colored stickers to the outlines
found on the poster to recreate the painting. Given that
Pointillism relies on the ability of the eye and brain to blend
colored dots into a fuller range of tones, it's not necessary to
place each sticker on precisely the right outline. As a result,
every finished poster will be somewhat different- and extremely
satisfying. With a handy folder-style flap that allows for easy
storage and transportation of the artwork in progress, Dot Art:
Sticker Seurat makes the perfect activity to take on vacation or to
unwind after a busy day.
