Icons for the Classroom

In this assignment I created icons I can use in my classroom.  I am most proud of the consistent borders.  I am most unsure about the icon for "ask 3 before me."  Any suggestions you might make for an image for this icon would be appreciated.

I Heart Illustration and Design

I'm Ms. Sherwood an instructor of graphic design, illustration and photography at Stephen F. Austin High School in Austin, TX.  I love graphic design and photography.   My high school art teacher, Mr. Kreps had worked in the advertising industry in NYC and he inspired my love for graphic design.  He was a gruff person who would tear up your artwork if he thought you weren't making your best effort, he always inspired me to do more. I love eye candy and have a great appreciation for graphics that use color, shape, line and typography to send a message.  Some of my favorite designers and illustrators are Saul Bass, Milton Glaser, April Grieman and Shepard Fairey.  I love to experiment with photography and design.  I look forward to seeing the work of my students this year.
