The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds



















Setting: School
Characters: Vashti, art teacher
Theme: You can do anything, believe in yourself

 Vashti's art class was over, and she had drawn nothing. She told her teacher she couldn't draw. Her teacher told her to make a mark and see where it would take her. So she just made a dot, and the teacher had her sign it. The next day her dot was framed above her desk. She said she could do better than that. She opened her watercolors and made all different colors, sizes, and non-existing dots. The dots went in the school art show. A boy came up to Vashti and told her she was a great artist. He said he couldn't do art like her. She made him draw a line on a paper and sign it just like her teacher had done to her.
