Kindergarten "The Dot" Paintings

For our first project, I read the story "The Dot" to the kindergarten students. This book helps to teach young students that everyone can be an artist, and it only take one mark to get start. The little girl in the book makes all of her paintings out of circles and dots. We discussed how she mixed dots to make one big dot and how she even made a dot without painting a dot!

The kindergarten students then created their own dot art work. They practiced listening to directions, by either painting only inside the circle to make one big dot, or to paint around the circle to make a dot without painting the dot.

I love the way the watercolors blended together!
