The 3rd grade will make their own artwork of dots and lines, starting with Sharpie Marker, NO PENCIL! That way they learn how to makes mistakes and turn them into something beautiful. After we finish outlining the shapes and lines, we'll paint them with tempera cakes.
I like to start the year talking with the 3rd graders about how to be artists even if they don't feel like one. The first project we'll read the book, The Dot, which is about a girl who thinks she can't be an artist. We also read another book called Beautiful Oops. Beautiful Oops is about turning mistakes into art. Below is a video of the author of Beautiful Oops, creating his own "Oops" art.
