Appreciate Everyday Beauty...

Here are my pages for last week's theme, appreciate everyday beauty in your life.   I would love to see  your ideas if you decided to participate this week.  Leave a comment and a link!  I am reading a very cool book  by Corey Moortgat called The Art of Personal Imagery.  There is a section that discusses how we choose and use symbols and icons in our art.  I am sure this is not a new idea to most of us altered artists. We are natural born collectors and we do collect examples of the symbols we feel best represent us.  This week I challenge you to make a journal page or spread that celebrates YOUR OWN personal images, symbols, designs, icons, totems, etc.  
This art journal page will be yet another type of self-portrait.  How do the things you surround
yourself with and create art with reflect your spirit and personality?

About Me

My photo
Jennifer R.D.
San Bernardino, CA, United States
I have a degree in Child Development and have been teaching for 25 years. Most of these years have been spent with second graders with the exception of 4 years in first grade. I love introducing my students to the joy of reading "chapter books" and the language of literature. I am a mixed-media artist and am lucky to be teaching at a fine arts magnet school. I use music and visual art every day in my classroom. I have been married for 29 years and my husband teaches High School English. I have raised 4 wonderful kids and am still working on the yellow labs that live in our house.
