In memory of all the great teachersthat inspired, motivated and opened our eyes to the importance of knowledge.
Four students and myself have been busy creating cigar box shrines that we will donate to Rebecca's Shrine Auction. The auction will be raising funds for the education of street children in
Oaxaca, Mexico.
As an educator I decided to create a shrine to honor my inspirational teacher/friend, Marlene Scott. She was an accomplished fine art artist/teacher that I am proud to say made a difference in my life.
All this week I will be posting my students' shrines.
Karen!! What a lovely tribute to all the teachers, including Frida, who continues to teach us. I love enlarging the images so I can really take in every detail.
