The first line in the book Dream is,
"I started out just like you." This reminds us that no matter what our differences, we are all very much the same – we have the same hopes, the same fears. No matter what our background, culture, nationality, ethnicity, human beings are in so many ways more alike than unalike.
The last line in Dream is, "Dream a dream... your very own dream." Each of us is also unique. Each of us has something a little different, a little special, that we can offer that no one else can. What makes you unique? What's an important dream you have for yourself or our world?
If there were a next page in Dream, it would be your dream. Finish the book by creating a page with words and art that communicate your own dream or goal. Each of us has a life story, and it's up to you to decide what comes next in your life story.
Choose a few words or write a short poem about an important dream or goal you have for yourself or our world. Carefully print your dream onto a large sheet of paper.
Each illustration in Dream was done by a different artist using a different medium – chalk pastel, oil, water colour, acrylic, collage, colored pencil, pen-and-ink, plasticine, digital. Which medium do you like best? Why?
Now create an illustration for your dream or goal using the medium and colors of your choice. Bring that dream alive! Finish the story as only you can – because it's your life story.
