These artist trading cards were done with colored pencil and ballpoint pen. I really enjoyed this assignment and will be making more! Ok, on to the next part...
When I graduated from High School, I had an idea that I wanted to become an art teacher. I never minded being in school, in fact, I preferred it. I have always been satisfyed by the feeling of being productive. School was a place that I have always worked hard and got things done.
My teachers and my family were supportive of the decision. They all wanted me to go in a direction that would encourage my growth in the field of art as well. Teaching seemed like a good fit to me as well. Teachers will always be needed, and even though the pay may not be spectacular, I've seen teacher's families survive comfortably by being smart with money. Besides, I will have summers to create whatever I want!
Certain art teachers that I had inn high school would assign a due date and that was all they did besides sit around and talk. I didn't learn anything in high school art class!
When I got to college, I was amazed! The first week I was instructed by two professors that I owe much of my talent to. One was nurturing and creative, showing me new techniques, concepts, and tools. The other was tough, strict and brutally honest. He taught us about presentation and the reality of a competitve art community.
The things they taught me, I could have learned in high school. I could have been better earlier. I want to share the information I learned to students. Not just kick up my feet and make due dates!
Great trading cards and great examples of how teachers that push you to do well really can help you grow. Don't worry too much about money. It all works out.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your trading cards! They are beautiful! I had those teachers in high school, and I felt so much more prepared for college. Almost too prepared because so far my art classes haven't really gone past what I learned in high school. I'm almost too prepared in some classes! I've gotten better on my own, but I'm still waiting to get those famous college professors everyone talks about. I'm determined not to be like my college professors who just give due dates and then run off to work on their own work!
