My name is Stephen Tavares and I have made the long trip to Princeton as well, all the way from central New Jersey. As a Freshman at Princeton University, I began my quest into the unknown of college life. 
One of my first experiences as a student at Princeton was my Writing Seminar class on Impressionism. Of course, this website is made for this class, but it has been a journey. I hoped you enjoyed the website, and there is not a lot of filler in it. I did my best.
Anyways, I chose to do Seurat because he was an unbelievable artist. In his short life he managed to create pieces of artwork that people still marvel at today. While his most famous work, pointilism, would be what most people focus on when looking at the life of Seurat, I chose to look at his earlier works which amaze me too. The drawings not only show his artistic ability, but they also show how much he found interest in everyday life. I started thinking when I realized this, maybe Seurat was trying to say something in his drawings. But what? Well, as you can see, I thought he was saying that industry was not the way France should go. After this thought, everything else just seemed to fall in place....
