2nd Grade Emotion Dots

2nd Graders learned about color in artwork expressing emotion. We read the book, "My Many Colored Days," by Dr. Suess and talked about what colors we would use to represent various emotions. Once we had 4 emotions we wanted to express with color, we learned some chalk pastel techniques.

3rd Grade Mandalas

3rd grade students created mandala dots to celebrate Dot Day.

"Mandala" is Sanskrit for circle. Mandalas are beautiful circular designs that are created in many cultures around the world and are symbolic for the ideas of wholeness, balance and peace.

First we created some concentric circles on our papers. We started with a dot in the very center of our circle. Then we began to draw our lines and patterns outward from our dot.

This student did an excellent job, even with a cast on her dominant hand!
