Simply take the pen in your hand and make the first dot! An inspiring book with a call to action – a combination of art and practice. Pointillism, spray technique, or frottage – images created using a variety of techniques.

The dot is the smallest design element; it is the first contact of the drawing tool with the drawing surface. We usually imagine it as tiny and round, but as an ink drop, for example, it can take on entirely different shapes. Peter Boerboom explores various themes related to the dot with pen and brush, nib and camera. Origin, circle, sphere, hole, swarm, or grid – his drawings and images illustrate the unexpected forms the dot can take. The works have been created using different techniques and include tips for implementation that encourage you to start creating yourself. Statements from well-known artists provide an art historical context to this work.
