l'Île de la Grande Jatte.

This might be one of the pieces that first sparked my interest in art history. That was taken much further in high school when my art teacher teacher taught about ancient Egypt though. Anyway, it's a good one to show kids. A whole 3m canvas with a scene made entirely of dots definitely opened my mind about what art could be.
