      Any feedback is appreciated, thank you! I'm sort of unhappy with the whole cheerleader area...it was hard to figure out where to put their hands/arms. I feel ok about my guy and the hallway leading to the doors/exit. Just not sure about the window. I feel like the wall is too plain. I'm a middle school teacher so I'm used to lots of "love" drama at school 🙂

        @Carrie I like the window better. But perhaps a bulletin board or something along those lines might also work?

        And I remember those days...haha

          I think the window adds more visual interest. Also then, reflections, light?

            Great idea! If the girls are meant to be a main focal point of the piece, I would not have the window, or at least simplify it so they stand out more. You also could lighten or blur the background a bit to bring the focus back to the main characters. just my 2 cents.
            Love that little guy's face.

              @shinjifujioka Ha ha! They are difficult days...I just broke up a fight this morning. Fortunately, it wasn't about love 🙂 Thanks for the input!

                  @Spencer-Hale Good advice, Spencer. Thank you so much. I really like the blurring the background idea. I'll try it!

                    Like this image and story, with or without the window does not bother me. Wonder what high school is like in this country haha hopefully not like the movies.

                      I think their silhouettes read more clearly without the window. I agree that a bulletin board might work better than the window if you want to have something on that wall.

                          @Sarah-LuAnn Thank you for your idea. I appreciate your thoughts. I'm going to try a bulletin board, too.
