What is International Dot Day you ask?!? Well good question....
The day is based on a fantastic book with a fantastic message ...
The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds
This story focuses on a girl Vashti who finds she "cannot draw" anything in art class and with a little help from her art teacher, she starts to make dots as her signature style. Of course I LOVE this idea of a student who feels like they cannot draw who pushes through the challenge and takes a mistake on paper and makes it into beautiful art...
And some great conversations happened over this one question, dots were made, and more risks are being taking on paper in the art room this year!
