Art class was overbut Vashti sat glued to her chair.
Her paper wasempty.
Vashti’s teacherleaned over the blank paper.
“Ah! A polar bearin a snow storm,” she said.
“Very funny!” saidVashti. “I just can’t draw!”
Her teacher smiled.
“Just make a markand see where it takes you.”
Vashti grabbed amarker and gave the paper a good, strong jab. “There!”
Her teacher picked up the paper and studied at it carefully. “Hmmmmm.”
Her pushed thepaper towards Vashti and quietly said, “Now sign it.”
Vashti thought fora moment.
“Well, maybe Ican’t draw, but I can sign my name.”
The next week,when Vashti walked into art class, she was surprised to see what was hangingabove her teacher’s desk.
It was the littledot she had drawn – HER DOT!
All framed inswirly gold!
“Hmmmph! I can make a better dot than THAT!”
She opened hernever-before-used set of watercolors and set to work.
Vashti painted andpainted.
A yellow dot.
A green dot.
A red dot.
A blue dot.
The blue mixed with the red. Vashti discovered that she could make aPURPLE dot.
Vashti keptexperimenting, lots of little dots in many colors.
“If I can makelittle dots, I can make BIG dots, too.”
Vashti splashedher colors with a bigger brush on bigger paper to make bigger dots.
Vashti even made adot by not painting a dot.
At the school artshow a few weeks later, Vashti’s many dots made quite a splash.
Vashti noticed alittle boy gazing up at her.
“You’re really agreat artist. I wish I could draw,” he said.
“I bet you can,”said Vashti.
“ME? No, not me. Ican’t draw a straight line with a ruler.”
Vashti smiled.
She handed the boya blank sheet of paper.
“Show me.”
The boy’s pencilshook as he drew his line.
Vashti stared at the boy’s squiggle.
And then she said…
“Please…sign it.”
