🎨 Encourage Creativity With this Dot Day Bulletin Board 

This bulletin board idea will encourage students to get creative on International Dot Day. The dot templates will have your students thinking outside the box (or circle), and using their imaginations to make something simple into a creative masterpiece. 

Encourage your students to use different visual art elements such as color, line, pattern, tone, shape, and space to fill the circle sections!

🟡 What is Dot Day? 

International Dot Day is an international holiday celebrated by both children and adults. Dot Day is a day to connect, collaborate, and create. 

Teachers and students around the globe participate in Dot Day by writing, drawing, painting, and making works of art in the classroom.
