LO: Create a piece of artwork from a single dot

Today, I had the opportunity to read one of my favourite books to Art Club students. It's titled 'The Dot' and written by Peter H. Reynolds.

In the story, a young girl called Vashti keeps complaining to her teacher that she can't draw. Her teacher thinks she can. She knows that there's a creative spirit in everyone, and where there's a dot, there's a way...

Students were asked to glue a single, random 'dot' in the centre of their A3 white paper. They were then asked to be as creative as they desire and draw whatever they want... take a look!

         

        

I love the way all the children's ideas are so very different and personal! It's amazing how we all see and imagine things differently.
