This two bookmarks was designed by Bibi as requested by her teacher for a competition held in school. She worked hard on it with the aid of some of the computer graphics which was allowed by the school and submitted to her teacher.
Bibi was upset that her teacher did not trust that this was designed by her and questioned her creativity by saying "You design this?" It definitely didn't sound very appreciative and in fact, dampened her spirit when she confided in me.
As a teacher who is moulding the character and instil values in very students, they way they communicate and express themselves is very important.
I would never be able to design pictures like these as my creativity sucks! Anyway, I've lifted her spirit and advised her to believe in herself, continue to let her creativity flow and to simply ignore an one-off 'tiff' with her teacher.
By the way, the teacher took the second design eventually.......*shake head*.
