A learner is like the canvas of a painter. It is blank for the most part and is waiting to be filled with vivid color.

A teacher is like a painter. The painter has the ability to try their hardest to make the painting into the vision they have in their minds using paints of different hues and utilizing different sizes of brushstrokes. Despite a painter's efforts to make the canvas into what they would like, the painting takes a life of its own. It has imperfections and the final result may not be exactly what the artist had in mind, yet it is still a masterpiece.

A teacher, like the painter, makes every brushstroke of knowledge change a learner's canvas forever.
