The Dot

 Many art lessons are based or flow from the book - The Dot by Peter Reynolds. I decided to give it a bash with a young group of artists.
 I read the story which is such a delightful book and if you have not yet read it can I urge you to try get a copy and enjoy this delightful story.
 I was fairly prescriptive in this lesson and each child had to trace three circles onto card.  On one they could paint the outside; on another the inside and on another they could use any kind of pattern. One we cut out the center to make a circle "hole".

 Look at this world - dot. what fun!!  After all was done and the Dot was dry , we made them into mobiles hanging with cotton from a branch. Just lovely!!!
