My school has a program called AVIC (Art in the Classroom). Parent volunteers come in once every other month to talk about an artist. The first one of this year had my class learning about George Seurat (who happens to be one of my favorites). I have this really cool book by Dover that the kids can color an actual masterpiece. So after they painted their own "Sunday Afternoon in the Park" with the AVIC parents, I had them start working on this one in the classroom. I had them use markers and dots only! They were not big fans in the beginning. I gave them like 2 weeks to work on this project in their spare time. I had only 6 children turn them in, but I think they turned out fabulous. I told my students that anyone who turned them in, completely dotting in all areas, would go in the hallway in our class art gallery. Here are the final 6...aren't they beautiful!!
They look fantastic! Isn't it great when you have those kiddos that just don't give up.

Thank you so much Tania....I am super proud of these kiddos because they didn't give up. They were so proud to see their work up in my new art gallery! :)
