The empty art classroom was filled with desks and chairs, and the students left, leaving Vashti sitting there alone, arms around the back of the chair, little eyebrows standing, full of worries. There is a blank sheet of paper and a pen on the back desk. It turns out that she didn't draw anything in this class.

At this moment, a thin female teacher came over, her hair curled up in the air and bent down to look at the blank sheet of paper. "ah! Polar bears in a snowstorm. " She said. After reading this, I chuckled: "This teacher is really talking nonsense!" But I thought about it and found it reasonable. Who says the white on the drawing is not the fat belly of a polar bear? Polar bear's fur ears? Who says it's not a walking polar bear? But this sentence did not comfort Wasti at all, but made her even more depressed: "I just can't draw!" ""Then draw a random stroke and see what you can draw. " The teacher said gently. At this point in the story, the pictures are all gray, green and light blue. And when Vashti grabbed the pen and poked at the paper, he said, "It's over! "Look at the picture at this time, from Vashti's whole body to the desktop, it is a fast-rotating red to show Vashti's anger.

In the eyes of ordinary people, painting is just a point for children to play in a temper, but let the teacher pick up the drawing paper and study it carefully. "Well," the teacher who described a blank piece of paper as "polar bear in a snowstorm" in the eyes of the child pushed the drawing paper in front of Wasti and said softly, "Please sign it." I'm surprised to read this. It's just a point to vent your emotions. Is this a painting? Wasti in the story thought for a moment. "Well, maybe I can't draw, but I will sign." In the picture at the moment, Vashti is covered with a faint warm orange, which means that she has won the respect of the teacher and is calm at the moment. A week later, her painting was set in a wavy gold frame by the teacher and hung above the office wall. This is the point she drew in the picture! She was stunned and stared at the dots on the painting for a long time.

Reading this, I am also greatly moved and shocked! I froze, too! A point, so solemnly turned into a picture, the teacher's praise and support for children is so important! I admire the teacher's excellent artistic thought very much! I can't help thinking about the existence of this point. Of course, it's a painting. You can say it's an abstract painting, a symbolic painting, a Zen painting ... You can also say that this stippling is a star, a peanut and a button, you can also say it's an eyeball, you can also say it's a chocolate, of course, it can also be a glass ball, an ink dot, a dewdrop, a small ball ... or a period. A mischievous little idea, a dream or the universe ... I stared at the point on the picture frame, and my mind rumbled forward like a train, and many associations emerged. This point is the beginning and the end of everything. God, I remember, this is radiant, extraordinary and meaningful. But as a child's mind, how does she feel at the moment?

Little Vashti in the story was greatly shocked and moved at this moment. She stood upright in front of the painting and thought confidently, "Hum! I can draw a better point than this! " She opened the watercolor paint that had never been used before and began to make it. She painted all night like a full-speed train.

In the painting, Xiao Wa Shi tries so hard to mix dots of various colors into dots of new colors, linear dots, circular dots, flying dots everywhere, rolling dots, crying dots, laughing dots, blooming dots, spraying flames, running at full speed ... More importantly, she can even draw on a big piece of paper without drawing any special dots. That magical night, little Vashti created an extraordinary world of dots, and the dots on each painting were so swaggering, just like naughty bags!

At the art exhibition held by the school, her views caused a great sensation! Everyone who looks at this painting, whether adults or children, is full of praise. Little Vashti became more and more confident and fulfilled: "I am a person who can really draw good pictures!" " I have a gift for painting, and I'm great! "

Seeing the story here, I also laughed. A little encouragement turned a zero-mark student into a little painter. Isn't this a miracle caused by positive thoughts? Who doesn't want to see a confident and sunny child? Then Vashti made another move that made me sit up and take notice. When a little boy enviously asked her how she could draw? Like her teacher, she said to the little boy, "I bet you can do it!" " The little boy said in fear, "No, I can't. I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler. " Vashti smiled and handed the boy a blank sheet of paper: "Then draw a stroke casually." When the little boy drew a line, his hand kept shaking. The line he drew is winding. Like her teacher, Vashti stared at it carefully for a while and said, "Please sign your name."

At this moment, Vashti is transmitting the great psychological energy given to her by her teacher: "There is no child in the world who can't draw. As long as you want to draw, draw! " Open your mind, open your imagination, and draw whatever you want! Even if you only draw a point, even if you only draw a winding line. "

Vashti, who gained confidence in painting, grew up to be the author of this book and an outstanding picture book painter. On the inside of the book, he wrote: Dedicated to my seventh grade math teacher, Mr. mattson, who encouraged me to "draw a stroke". I stared at this sentence over and over again, reading it, and every time I read it, I was moved.

Children, after listening to this story, do you like drawing?

Do you think it's interesting to draw an imaginary picture from one point?

How do the children in the story feel when they see the teacher put a point he drew casually in a picture frame and hang it on the wall?

The child in the story can't draw at first, starting with drawing a point, and later becoming a great picture book painter. What can be compared to the dots he drew?

If you compare this to everyone's advantages or characteristics, it is also a bright spot. Any highlights? How many/much? Write it down. Even if there is a bright spot, you are great. Be sure to write it down.

Please write down your own highlights and say it out loud!

Be sure to remember that when you are discouraged, you should remember: I am a person with bright spots, and I will take good care of and give full play to my bright spots to become an excellent person!
