In this time of crisis, an opportunity for creativity can flourish. Art offers meaning  comfort, and manifests resilience and control over the unthinkable. Isolation was always part of creating art, and the world crises were always producing new movements in arts. Like many artists who worked during the worst pandemics and hardships over the centuries, we will explore the beauty of the natural world in our Drawing and Painting classes, and turn our energy to making art in the midst of uncertainty. Why not to use this time to learn something meaningful now and later, when these times will pass?
