Have you heard of “International Dot Day”? Our class celebrated this special day by reading “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds. The day was created to celebrate his book and the fact that everyone can make their own mark in the world. We created three types of art today! We used pastels and water colour for one of our pieces. The students used tempera and circles for another. Then we decided to paint our window with dots too! It was a day full of art. I overheard one conversation between one of my new grade one friends and a grade two students. It summed up the day perfectly…
Student 1 – “I’m not a good artist.”
Student 2 – “Everyone is an artist. You just have to try.”
PERFECT 🙂
Very Well said, “Every one is an Artist. One Just have to try” – Sometimes kids teach us a lesson.
I love your class blog. Your dot art looks beautiful. I believe there is an artist in each of us!
Looks like fun! Everyone is getting their “art” on!
Wow! This looks like a great day. I’m having so much fun reading about what is going on in your class. Great job, Room 102!
You might be interested to look up what city refers to itself as “The Little Red Dot”. It was first said in insult to this city-state, but they now embrace it with pride. A certain girl has been to this tropical place.
Looks like everyone had fun!
