Life During Quarantine

Even with everything shut down, so much is going on. My work at the university is all being carried on online, and I am working hard to keep up. Sometimes doing the online thing is harder. I am an extrovert, and I like to see people's faces and interact with them. Having to sit in front of a computer depresses me a little bit, I have to say. But I am managing.

I have moved my art studio to Downingtown, and have gone there nearly every day recently. I have a computer there so that I can keep up with my online classes, as well as check emails and so forth. I am working on several different art projects as well, and hoping that the art show I scheduled for myself for May will be able to happen. I may have to postpone that show if we are still required to continue social distancing, so time will tell.

I have also been working on illustrations for a friend who has a book coming out - and I can share more about that later. It's really her project, so I don't want to give anything away before she is ready.

I'm also playing with Paper Clay and teaching my African Art students how to make make masks on youtube!

Here. I am making my Internet Literacy students all create online blogs, and with that, I promised them that I would update mine. So stay turned for more from me!Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
