Picture Book Month: Creativity

Vashti knows she’s no artist, but with a little encouragement and faith from her art teacher, Vashti soon realizes that art is in the eye of the beholder. If Vasthi’s art teacher thinks her dot is good enough to be signed and hung in a frame, what else could Vashti do? She begins experimenting with size, color, and space and soon gets the chance to encourage another non-artist. Spend some time making your own dot creations using different materials you can find at home!
