This week the Pencil Lines design team spotlight is on Jennifer Mattot. Jen also provided this weeks sketch.
Lets learn some more about Jen :
I'm thrilled to be on Pencillines DT! I am an art teacher in a public school that has about 450 students K-6. I have taught Primary grades all the way up to High School Art in the 14 years that I've been a teacher. I also teach classes at my LSS that focus on mixed media and alternative techniques. I have been scrapbooking and making art since I was a young child with my Mom and Nana both being artists. I learned a lot from them and after having kids of my own, of which I have 2 boys (almost 3 and almost 7 years old, decided to move to artwork that could be made quickly or left for periods of time easily. Visual Journaling is my newfound love and mixed media altered art. I love working with sketches to jumpstart my ideas and let me focus on new materials!
My blog is: http://arttalk-sigmagirl.blogspot.com/
On my off time, I love to hang out with my boys and hubby, travel, attend workshops/ classes (I'm a life long learner), and shop! I love hanging with my favorite girlfriends to scrap, laugh, drink or attend a Twilight movie! LOL! I also Design for Faber-Castell and Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker.

Right or Left handed: I'm a righty... but a definite Right brainer too!
Your Heritage: I'm a mutt... mix of German, Native American/ Cherokee, English, and Slavic, but ALL American!!!

Pepsi or Coke? DIET Coke ONLY! Pepsi is ICK!
Chocolate or Vanilla: I like a twist of both with chocolate sprinkles please!
Cappuccino or Coffee: Venti Skinny Vanilla Latte with 2 Splendas (Starbucks)... YUM!
Do you sing: Only in the car by myself!
Do you like Thunderstorms: I have a weird love of Thunderstorms... love them for the drama, but they make me nervous ever since I saw a tornado when I was about 14 in Texas.
Do you play an instrument: Not really but my kids think I can play a mean Rock Guitar!
In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: No, but I could eat a whole bag of Starburst Jellybeans in ONE day if you left them open!
What do you want to be when you grow up: I LOVE being an art teacher and can't imagine being ANYTHING else. If I had to choose another profession, I'd love to work as a wedding planner.

Number of tattoos: None... I wanted one in the worst way when I was a college student, but my Dad reasoned me out of one... I'm still considering it now that I'm done having babies. Maybe a paintbrush or gorgeous design with meaningful symbols woven in.
