The widespread COVID19 virus affecting so many lives, like educators, business owners, and other professions. As a parent, teacher knowing schools are closed for more than a month and all the stores are closed except for essential markets, these extraordinary circumstances asking us questions like, “What do I need to do?”, “What do I need to prepare for our kids to continue learning?”, “How do I teach when students have limited access to art supplies at home? (because I am an art teacher)”, “How can I help our kids to be positive and keep moving forward?” I have been searching online to obtain the resources as much as possible to provide for my families and our students to have but there is no set answer for this kind of situation. Everyone has different situations and each one of us has to find a way that fits them. As a parent and art teacher, I have to develop or find ways to plan and facilitate learning in a way that meets everyone’s specific situation. Maybe this is a good time to challenge our kids and discover what natural materials we can find around us to create artworks. We have been exposed so much to the chemicals and manmade resources. Now let’s think about the primitive era. During my student teaching time(still am though), I remember one of the students was asking me “How did the artist paint when there were no paints like we have now?” I told the class briefly what and how they used the materials in old times. People used natural resources found in their pantry and backyard to create arts like what we see in cave arts. So next couple of weeks, I would like to share and introduce art projects that you can do with material easily be found in your home and natural resources.

I hope you enjoy, learn, discover through my website and get inspired by my art works.
Keep mile and create all the time!
