Dot Designs Inspired By International Dot Day
Learning Targets:
I can...- Create a dot design using color mixing techniques learned in class
- Use geometric shapes (square, triangle, circle, rectangle), space (positive, negative) and texture (soft/hard, thick in)
- Use Mathematical Connections (diameter, radius, segment) to discuss concentric circles within Abstract Art
- Define Expressionist (expressing emotions rather than pictures)
Lesson One
Day One, Art Lesson
3. Discussion Questions "What can you create with just a dot? How can you make a dot by not making a dot? Can you make a picture by painting little dot? How much space would 100 dots fill?"
Lesson Activities:
