3. What is a dot? Definition of graphic dot Definition of geometric point

4. Graphic dot The dot is the smallest element of a picture

5. Geometric point It’s the point where two lines cross.

9. Shape The shape of a dot can be different.

10. Colour The colour of each dot can also be different.

11. Examples

12. Dots’ uses Material texture Dots for shading Dots for colouring Dots to decorate Vanishing point Point of interest

13. Material texture The point to make use of textures is widely used

14. Material texture Do you recognize these textures?

15. Dots for shading If we paint a group of dots, we can make shadows. When the shadow is very dark, it means that the dots are close to eachother.
