The Dot Project 2020 - JJA

For this project, we were given coffee filters and were instructed to use different types of media. These media included; watercolor paint, watercolor markers, crayons, oil pastels, and markers. We then got to make whatever design we pleased and add the different media to it. Once they were how we wanted them, we got to paint on it with water. It was fascinating to watch the different media bleed and blend together.

Extension Activity:
An extension activity I would first read The Dot book to my students. I then would give my students a paper plate and have them design their own "dot", that dot being the plate as a whole. They would be able to use multiple types of media and I would encourage them to make it their own. After the students completed their "dots",  I will then create a bulletin board to display their artwork.

Extension Activity:
An extension activity that I personally would do would have to do with color. I choose color because I think that it is one of the most used and important elements. I would do an activity geared towards  Kindergarteners and them learning their colors. I would choose to do a scavenger hunt around the room that would help the children to find, learn, and identify their colors. This would also help them to practice writing the names of colors, thus improving memory of the names of each color. Students would be partnered up and have to go find the different objects i have given them on paper and identify the color of that object. Each pair of partners would have different, very basic objects. This would ensure that they truly could find and identify what the color of that object was. The students then have to write the color next to that object on a paper. In the end, they will be turned in for grading. The next day our review will be to have them, partner, back up and discuss.
