This year our class explored this book and topic in September for National Dot Day! We read the story and talked a little about Pointillism. "Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image." (Wikipedia)
The students were given q-tips and corks to create their own dots as well as a variety of colors of paint. We discussed how God has made each of us different and special. Just like Vashti, we should give everything a good try! The students had a wonderful time being artists and creating their masterpieces.
To match the story, each child's artwork was "framed" in swirly curly gold, just like Vashti's.
