Narrative In Pursuance Of Books The Dot (Creatrilogy)

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.

Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you."

Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher 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.

Notice Based On Books The Dot (Creatrilogy)

I really liked this book. It is useful to teach so many things. Quick overview: A student, Vashti, who does not want to do her artwork because she believes she cannot draw, simply turns in a single dot for her project. After appreciation and encouragement from her teacher about the artwork, Vashti starts experimenting with her art. She creates a gallery of "dot" art. In the end she shows off her work and even passes her wisdom to a fan of her art. This book is great for the students and the

Another delightful story by Reynolds, in a very similar vein as Ish (which I absolutely adored!).Here we find a young child who "Can't draw" anything. Supposedly. But when the teacher gets our protagonist to draw a dot and then "sign it" - well, one thing leads to another and the dots become more and more elaborate.This is a great book to inspire creativity in kids who think they "can't" something. If the beauty of art is in the eye of the beholder, then this illustrates that so long as you're

This is one of those books that makes me unaccountably teary when I read it. About kids and creativity. Highly recommended.

I like this book. First, Vashti did not know how to draw. Her teacher asked her to make a mark and sign her name.Vashti signed her name. Then Vashti found her teacher put her picture in a frame. Vashti thought she could make better dot, so she grabbed her watercolors and painted with brushes all kinds of beautiful dots. Other people think those dots all great. A boy said she is a great artist, and he cant draw. Vashti asked the boy to draw a line and the little boy draw a curvy line. Vashti

I thought it was interesting that a book focusing on art has such simple illustrations. Like the tone of the story, the illustrations slowly get brighter and more colorful, but for the most part, they are simple and gray. The book starts off with a frustrated student who thinks that she is bad at art. However, instead of telling Vashti that her work will improve, Vashtis art teacher accepts the simple dot that she drew, asks Vashti to sign it, and then frames her artwork. By framing Vashtis

What a fun book! I found an art project that goes along with this book and am excited to try it with the seniors I work with for senior story hour and for folks who attend one of the memory cafes I host. Looks fun! Such an inspiring book for all ages.

Add The Dot to my list of favorite books! As someone who can regularly be heard denouncing any ability to draw, stay inside the lines of coloring pages, or paint something that doesnt result in a murky blob, Peter Reynolds simple fable about personal creativity and artistic acceptance has filled me with hope. Vashti believes she cannot draw, but when her teacher gently tells her to just make a mark, she jabs at a blank sheet of paper and signs her name. The next week, her art teacher has framed
