The simple line drawings convey the girl’s emotions very effectively: at first we see a frustrated and angry child, who, as she becomes absorbed in creating and experimenting, seems happier and more at ease. When a young boy admires her work and tells her HE can’t draw, she gets him to make his own mark and sign it… She gradually reveals herself as a very prolific and imaginative artist.
Vashti decides she can do better than a dot, and starts to explore her creativity, painting dots of different sizes and colours. The teacher asks her to sign it, and the following week, Vashti is surprised to see her dot drawing hanging above her teacher’s desk, beautifully framed. Her teacher encourages her to make a mark, and Vashti stabs a felt tip dot into the paper.
Vashti is convinced she can’t draw, and sits with an empty piece of paper in front of her. “Just make a mark and see where it takes you”.
