This week, we will be focusing on the book The Dot. It is about a teacher's encouragement that helps a little girl find the artist within and the lesson spreads. In support of this unit, try to visit an art museum. Look for pictures with dots in them. Look for works of art that employ the pointillist technique. Discuss the various types of paintings, asking the children to identify the pictures they like the most. Ask them about the feel and mood of the painting's and drawings: "Which paintings create a playful mood? Which paintings create a serious mood? Do colours make a difference?"
Today, we will discuss the book, paint with dots, write our names with dots and begin our patterning unit in Math.
We will also visit the computer lab.
