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!!!
