Most people change their mind about what they want to be when they grow-up a couple hundred times while they’re little. (And some change it a couple hundred more times when they are grown-up!) What did you want to be when you grew-up (before high school) was our topic for this week. I love the range; teacher to clown to marine biologist to artist and musician.
As a challenge, I asked everyone to use a page from a pack of postcard-sized adhesive scrapbook paper in their page. (Occasionally, this class is really just me trying to use up my endless store of craft supplies!)
My page is the one in the bottom right corner. When I was in 1st grade, I remember having an assignment about what you wanted to be and I wanted to be an artist when I grew up, specifically like Pablo Picasso. (I’m wondering if Picasso was the only artist’s name I knew at the time because he’s definitely not one of my favorites…)
This page was made by the art journalian who wanted to be a clown when she grew up (she actually went to an audition day for Clown College- how cool is that!). I think it’s a very cool page. It was a little amusing to listen to her looking through magazines trying to find a clown (and/or a nun- she couldn’t decide which one she was going to use) because apparently clowns (and nuns) are not well represented in magazines.
What did you want to be? A doctor? An architect? An astronaut? A rock star? A princess? Or one of several thousand other possible careers?! What was your ultimate dream job? Is there any chance that you could still do it? (Or has your dream job changed a few hundred times since you were a kid?) Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who found your dream job and gets to do what you love every day, so you could make a page about that!
I hope that our dream jobs from when we were little might inspire some job, dream, or dream job art for you!
Have a lovely weekend and happy art journaling!
