What can you do with a dot?

What is art?  What materials can be used to create art?  How do we properly use art materials?  These are the questions that the Nest (grade K) discussed at the beginning of the school year. 

They also learned about the most very basic mark in art… the DOT.  They looked at a slideshow of artworks that use dots.  The class read the book: The Dot.Then, to make their artwork the Nest students cut out large dots (circles) and glued them to their background.  The next class period, they used paint dabbers and markers to add more dots.  Look what you can do with a dot!
