Hi everyone,

Today, we studied "dot painting" thanks to a video. You first listened to it and then you watched it.

Here is what we did:

HOMEWORK: Monday, 2nd: learn the vocabulary and the symbols on the document + be able to talk about dot painting.

Now, watch this video and try to do dot painting yourselves! Bring it back to school so we can use it as a poster to decorate the classroom, thanks!
