The “pointillism” technique can be a painstaking process. Tell the students it’s best to keep their drawing simple, so that they have time to finish
Keep in mind the lesson is not about color mixing it’s about optical mixing. Make sure the students understand they need to overlap the primary colored dots next to each other in order to create a secondary color

into the paint on the plates, fill in the spaces. Blot the erasers on paper towels, if necessary to get rid of excess paint. Remind them that they want to see the individual dots up close, but from far away, they should blend together. So, have them get up periodically and look at their artwork from a few feet away.
Encourage them to mix colors to create the right color on the paper plates.
See how much of the paper can get filled with closely filled dots. Have them name and sign their masterpiece. Slide2
