Here it is! "Teachers Facing the Challenge #4"! I kind of want a different name for this set of grids though. Should I use the 3 main qualities the masks symbolize for me? Like 1️⃣ would be "Creativity," 2️⃣ "Compassion," and 3️⃣ "Commitment"? I feel like I should have arranged masks according to each quality for that, though, right? . Maybe something like "Classroom Essentials" 1-3 to play on essential workers and how teachers are the common factor between online and in-person learning? . Hit me with other title ideas! . 🖍️PS pre-orders for this and the other 2 grids in the second series will be available April 19, so mark your calendar! . . . #teachersfacingthechallenge #creativitycompassioncommitment #teacherportrait #maskportraits #colorfulportrait #colorfulpainting #ihavethisthingwithcolor #colorismyjam #colorfulart #portraitpainting #teachinginapandemic #teachergram #ncartist #gastoniaartist #gastonsaves #langchat #teachersofig #passioncolorjoy #dailydoseofcolor ncaepics bored_teachers actfl gastonartsnc gastoncountyartguild gaston_county_ncae
