Today our students took part in art activities surrounding the text “The Dot” by Peter Reynolds. The book is a personal favourite of mine as Reynolds focuses his story on expression, acceptance, compassion and the theme of “leaving a mark”. This story shows kids that all of us are talented and should be celebrated.
Students painted water colour circle designs on water colour paper while other friends stamped circle using “bingo dobbers” on water colour paper.
Some decided that they would make circle designs in Minecraft and some friends painted styrofoam balls using acrylic paints. All in the the spirit of design, innovation and creativity around the story “The Dot”.
