Kindergarten and first grade students read The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. In this story, Vashti, a frustrated students claims that she can not draw. Her art teacher encourages her to make a mark and see where it takes her. Vashti begins to create many dot paintings and turns into an amazing artist.
After reading the story, I asked students to create their very own dot paintings! First we drew dots with crayons and then we painted over them. Each painting is beautiful and unique.
How are the dot paintings similar? How are they different?
