Pointillism- A technique of painting in which a lot of tiny dots are combined and overlapped to form a composition.

Collaboration- working together to create something

Complementary colors- colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel

Intensity- The brightness, or pureness of a color/hue. **The highest intensity is the color directly from the bottle**

Hue- the color

Value- the lightness or darkness of a color
