"The Dot" Lesson on Paper Plates

Time to clean out the computer! I've been hoarding photos of student work that I need to get out there into the world...so prepare yourselves.

Here's a project I did with Kindergarten at the beginning of the year when we were learning about the Primary Colors and Kandinsky.

We read "The Dot" and created these concentric circles using oil pastels. Then we painted by mixing primary colors on the plates.

I encouraged them to stay inside the lines...but let's face it...we all know how that turns out. 

Other kids didn't want to mix the colors and were purists.
