DOT

Every painting, drawing, or photograph is a collection of dots and lines.

Dot:
  •  is a small spot that is usually circular in shape.
  •  It often denotes the starting position of a design from which other elements such as line, shape and plane  are brought into motion.
  •  Dots are often used in multitudes or in combinations to form patterns, rhythm and movement.

Pointillism: Pointillism was a movement in France where painters mixed colours on the canvas by placing dots side by side so that when viewed from a distance they were blended by the eye. This is really called an optical illusion.

Kiss by Roy Lichtenstein is an example of how Pop Art often exhibited dots. The symbolism was about mechanistic printing methods.
