Grade K learned about the most very basic marks in art… DOTS and CIRCLES. The class read the book The Dot, by Peter Reynolds.
They also looked at a slide show of artwork that uses dots. These are some examples:
Aboriginal Art made in Australia
Georges Seurat and his Pointillist technique
The Kindergartners made a picture using dots and circles as design elements. They focused on drawing circles, cutting and gluing circles and overlapping. The students got their first experience in art class with using paints properly.

GREAT IDEA:) Love you you connected the dots for younger artists haha okay my stupid jokes are done for the day.
My granddaughter just told me about the book, 'The Dot' last week. Her AP English teacher read this to her class. They also had to create a picture using dots and circles. You are nevertoo old for picture books.
