4th Grade - Dot Design Fantasy Lands - 3rd Grade The students listened to the book THE DOT. It is a story about a student who felt he could not make art. He hands in a dot as his project, and from there his artistic style takes off! With this story as an inspiration, the students created their own dot designing while adding personal flare. A black marker is then used to create textures plus thin and thick lines. The students are encouraged to choose a pair of complimentary colors to show several different values using watercolors.
