The main idea of Dot Day is defined by the fact that “creativity, courage, and collaboration” can stem and exponentially grow from simply drawing a dot on a plain piece of paper. The inspiration behind Dot Day stems from Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot.
According to the celebration’s official website, “The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to ‘make her mark.’ What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing.”
We will be using this theme for the school wide art show in February.
