The Dot

I had a great time with this art project! This art activity was an extension from the book, The Dot, which is a great book to get children to fall in love with art. With this activity we were asked to create art from a single dot. I really enjoyed this activity because it made me think out of the box and us my creativity. I also enjoyed it because I had the opportunity to work with different mediums and see how the different mediums work with one another. 

This activity could be extended into various different lessons. I would use it as an extension into deeper art exploration, allowing the students to use multiple mediums within the same project. I would also extend this activity into a language arts lesson. The students would each have the opportunity to chose a book of their interest. Throughout the book the students would be asked to highlight one simple object and create an art project around it.
