The pandemic has been long and difficult for ALL learners. But I have never been more humbled and driven to complete admiration of my students this past year and a half. In our school we shut down in March of 2020 and we remained virtual until April 2021. Including summer school we were virtual for 12 full months of learning.
And yet this year we had deeply involved discussion panels in our chat, to which new friends were made & identities blossomed. We as a group created some amazing work by looking at the process of different artists and how THEY create and following their process in our own work step by step. We reflected and critiqued each other’s work.
Students shared snippets of their lives & hardships with me as they took on parental roles for siblings, weathered true grief & battled a deafening level of ennui. As a community my little artists found strength in each other this year. Over the months I was reminded again and again that I am truly blessed to have chosen education, a career which fosters a pride in your soul knowing you have made a difference.
