"The Dot" Art Lesson - Growth Mindset Art & Literacy

No prep art lesson with meaningful content inspired by "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds. Students will create warm-up sketches on a gallery page then create a larger dot to add to a collaborative class display. International Dot Day is September 15th-ish. But this is a great lesson for anytime of year.

I have had success with this lesson in grades K-5.

What's included:

• Lesson Plan with outlined Objectives, Materials, Resources, Instructions, & Reflection questions.
• YouTube link within the PDF file to access a read aloud if you do not have a hard copy of the book
• "My Dot Gallery" printable with hand drawn picture frames
• "My Dot Masterpiece" printable with frame and lines at the bottom for students to describe their work.
• "The Dot" circle printable with a large dot and square for each student to create their own for a class display
• Dot Ideas Reference page
• Mini Masterpiece frame printable (6 per page) for early finishers or exit ticket
• Dot Day coloring page

• Black and white + color border versions
