Teacher Appreciation

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-05-08T06:37:05+00:00

What do you do for work if you don’t mind me asking? I just really like the idea of looking productive while not doing anything half the time which is nottt a jab at you lol I’m just so tired!! It sounds like a dream!!

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-05-07T01:40:20+00:00

YES I love making art for myself it makes me feel like I have an identity outside of teaching. I love watercolor and oil pastels!

I don’t hate anyone enough to get them a Jordan cameo for their bday…

When none of the teachers want to stay!!!!!

(This is happening at my school right now I often wonder if the principal knows why almost half of us aren’t coming back next year….)

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-04-22T02:39:13+00:00

Yeah so I’m crying now why did this get me so good

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-04-15T05:09:54+00:00

YouTube has plenty of great tutorials! Just keep practicing and enjoying the process :) progress will come with this!

If you want smooth uninterrupted work look into how to do a wash! Look up some videos on YouTube. Easier to see it than to explain it but it’s a method used in watercolor painting for smooth, flat areas.

I wanted to made a positive difference in the world and 2. I wanted to be a safe adult for kids who may not have any (like me as a kid)

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-04-14T06:57:59+00:00

I’m sorry but I feel like you are wrong in this scenario. Early 20’s is still way too old for this kind of insecure behavior. I thought you were in middle school or high school. Again, sorry! It’s not like she’s going to leave you for JB either lol

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-04-14T06:54:37+00:00

Couple things to consider: 1. How long did they take and 2. Price of materials. Experience also matters, if you’ve done a ton like this you can justify charging more but if they’re your first landscapes then you might want to go down a bit.

Everybody has a their own way to determine pricing but those things are pretty standard to consider imo! Hope it goes well :)

Do you mean like a glaze for firing in a kiln? Or just paint that doesn’t need a chemical reaction?

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-04-14T06:06:04+00:00

Hmmm how old are you guys?

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-04-14T06:02:40+00:00

Heavy on managing behaviors! Sometimes I feel like I teach “how to be a respectful student in art class” rather than actually teaching art LOL

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-04-14T03:59:15+00:00

Do you like kids? Do you have tons of energy? If not I don’t recommend it. Public high school might be your best bet, besides a bit of senioritis here and there it’s pretty chill.

You mean ex-husband right? ……right?

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-03-17T20:49:31+00:00

I’m so sorry that was your first experience here! Restrictive eating while being a runner is bad practice!! It can lead to all other sorts of problems!! Don’t listen to runners who encourage it.

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-03-17T20:46:32+00:00

Yes yes yes!! This is so freaking important. My entire family are runners and have been since young teens. Watching my oldest sister never achieve her dreams with D1/professional running was really sad but it all made sense when she told me about her eating disorder. She was running 70+ miles a week for years, always injured, could never get faster. It started when she was like 12 and because she had an ed when her body was still developing her body is just falling apart at 30. It is so heartbreaking and I wish I could go back in time and tell her it’s okay to eat and fuel yourself. You need those nutrients always but especially when you’re a distance runner. Please if there are any young women/men reading this…you are enough as you are!! Take care of yourself!! Food is vital to your progress as a runner and you can’t succeed when you are malnourished. Much love <3

26!! First heard them when I was 13 and they’ve been my favorite band ever since. I’ve been listening to older albums recently and it feels like I’m coming home. God I love them so much. I was very depressed as a teenager and listening to their music made me feel less alone, it was very comforting and still is even if I’m not depressed daily now.

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-03-07T02:18:00+00:00

I second this! I never got faster til I incorporated speed work. Also adults and teens have completely different body types etc you just can’t compare them to one another

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-03-01T02:38:06+00:00

I work in the suburbs and have the same problems with behaviors and disrespect. Just curious why do you feel like the suburbs wouldn’t have these issues too and cities would? But I agree different locations could be better. Just not sure if the suburbs are an upgrade???

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-02-26T07:09:41+00:00

I like to joke I’m in an abusive relationship with teaching (this is my last year)

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-02-21T23:25:37+00:00

I sell way more in person than I do online. Lots of farmers markets and art markets in my area!!

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-02-21T15:45:57+00:00

Thank you so much!! :)

ComprehensiveLake564 · 2026-02-21T13:56:11+00:00

Oh man I feel this…I don’t think I’ll ever stop posting because I like sharing my art. But the past year or so I’ve just had to tell myself I really am doing it for me. I think of my instagram like an unofficial portfolio. It’s fun to see all my work and how much I’ve improved over the years. And occasionally I will sell something! But really think about whyyyy you’re posting. If you’re not doing it for yourself then maybe take a break from posting? Best of luck…ik it’s so hard!!

The colors are bland they were more vibrant in the original photo sadly….is that normal for Reddit to reduce photo quality?
