Sometimes at work there are slow days. (I know, this is kind of the antithesis of teaching. Trust me, I don't feel good about it.) It's amazing though, when you're sitting in a lobby with children who refuse to engage with you linguistically, how the gesture of a proffered sketchbook and a pencil is pretty universal. One girl drew her house, and a little boy drew himself (I made him be in a forest. I should really develop it).
you should consider a career in illustrated books! These are GREAT!
ReplyDeleteWow thanks Linah!! That is super encouraging! I'm just "drawing what I see," to quote a kindergarten teacher haha. It will take me time to graduate to drawing from imagination and using color and all that! ;)
Deleteit's awesome that you got to draw and it inspired the students. Really cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin! :) Yeah it's a nice alternative to a lot of the idle time I unfortunately have as a sub these days.
DeleteDude, I just noticed the dark eyed panda...I love it!
ReplyDelete:) I actually couldn't see its eye from the angle I was sitting at, so I fudged it a little!
