Prep: cut or rip watercolor paper and construction paper into 3x8.5 strips
Cut out or hole punch 2" circles these could be yellow or printed yellow
Discussion: Pointillism: small dots next to each other when looked at from far away become a picture.
Primary dots next to each other mix with the viewers eye.
Look at the work Sunday afternoon at the Park by the artist Seurat

Do you see a monkey?
What would you do if you were there?
