Thankful for Teachers {Gratitude52 Art Journal}

G52Prompt35 Teachers

The prompt for Week 35 of the Gratitude52 Art Journal Challenge is to illustrate our appreciation for teachers.

I was born to be a teacher. I played “school” until I was old enough to actually start school. Then I was in school until I was a teacher. Then I was a teacher until I retired a few years ago. I taught kindergarten, fifth grade, gifted, and college. In my heart, I’m still a teacher.

“Back to School” is in my blood. Where are those school supplies? Well, I do have them. These days they are in the form of paints and colored pencils and coloring books and planners and sketchbooks.

Being a teacher makes me able to fully appreciate and be thankful for teachers. I am grateful for my teachers through the years, as well as for the teachers of my children and my grandchildren. Being an excellent teacher is a special gift.

On this one and last one, are these stamps you are coloring? You surely didn't draw the little girls from scratch?

Correct, these are stamps, from Gorjuss. I stamped the images and then colored, with colored pencils on the Bible page, and with NeoColorII Watercolor Crayons on the Gratitude Journal (teacher) page.
