Dot Day Painting
Description: We painted with watercolor on coffee filters. We used different materials to determine if they would stay when water color is added or blend then it is added. Crayons, Sharpie, and oil pastels were some materials that resisted the watercolor. Crayola markers blended with the watercolor. Students can design their coffee filter however they choose. I used a white crayon in the middle of the filter, the water color revealed the message I wrote. Extension Activity: We can work on spelling words using this activity. I could write on several coffee filters the spelling words of the week. Then each student can paint a coffee filter to reveal what spelling words we are going to work on throughout the week. Once the filters are painted and dried, we can hang the words in the room so students have them to refer back to throughout the week.
