Dot Day!

Dot Day has come to Waitsfield School!  Each grade level will create different types of dot art, celebrating the Dot Day principles of Creativity, Courage and Collaboration.

Watch the video of Peter Reynolds' book "The Dot"



Third and fourth graders worked in groups to create giant dots!  They explored different techniques including splatter paint, color mixing and masking tape resist.  

First and Second graders painted on large paper to explore many different types and sizes of dots.  They were inspired by the dots that Vashti paints in "The Dot."

Kindergarten Dot stations:
Dot stampers, dot stickers, dot tracing
