In art this week we focused on "Dot Day." We read a story about a little girl who didn't believe she was an artist and couldn't create anything. Then she turned into an artist after she discovered that even her simple little dot was art. We spent one whole class period experimenting with different art supplies to create our own dots. I really enjoyed creating different dots with paint.
I also really liked doing bubble dots, bubble dots were easy, but messy. All you have to do is mix a little bit of food coloring with bubbles and then just blow bubbles on to the paper. The messy part comes in to play when the bubble would pop either before or as it hit the paper. So as the bubble popped it would usually pop in your face.
Below are some examples of my artwork from "Dot Day"

Extension Activities:
- For a math activity I would have students draw a dot and then find the radius and circumference of there dots.
- For Language Arts I would have kids look at pictures of different dots and then write a short story of what the dots are saying to them.
