We are now assembling our dots in a large collage on 18"X24" inch paper. Here is the video I created to walk them through assembling their work: I love how they all turned out and the kids loved all the different stations they rotated to. You can check out the three videos I made of art makin' centers…

Last week, 3rd grade celebrated National Dot Day, by creating their own dot paintings! The Dot, is a book written by Peter Reynolds, and is about a young girl who's frustrated in art class, and says she can't draw. Her teacher says, "Make a dot, and see where it takes you."

Here's the video I created for my students: If you cannot see this video then it's because you are looking at my blog from your phone. Super annoying, I know. It's a blogger thing, it's not you…
