13-15 year olds

I have chosen to draw my art teacher, Jann. She has inspired me to do so much with my art. I get to teach art classes with her to younger students on Mondays after school and I thoroughly enjoy our conversations on the way back from art classes with her. She has a unique, bright personality and she always wears her apron, covered with paint, her round glasses and bright red lipstick (that always seems to find its way onto her teeth!). My mind automatically went straight to Jann as soon as I heard about this competition.
