With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark - and follow where it takes us as we learn to become artists (or just arty or artistic). This is the best way for kids to learn art.
Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." The words are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can’t draw - she’s no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says.
That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti’s journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds’s delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us. "Now sign it."
