I think I am at the point, here in October, that all of this is now my new normal. I haven't resisted this new normal. In fact, my embracing of my new schedule, my new socially distanced way of teaching, my cart full of art supplies with my computer balanced on top of it all and all of the rest of it has been a full on and all in endeavor. I'm here. And what still gets me up everyday is the potential and the realization of the creative process in us all. It is our humanity. It is a gift. This cannot be taken away. The privilege of being part of this outweighs everything else. So there it is.
Here's what I can control:
What materials and processes all of my students experience.
How often (which is very often) I spray 730 ( our district's disinfectant). I even spray it on the watercolors and surprise ! Blue is still blue!
The ways I connect with students through Zoom and in-person.
How I give feedback to students through our LMS.
The way I enter into my own creative process. AND how I give that to the students.
Here's what I can't control:
Long standing misconceptions about anything.
What other adults do.
The weather.
...even though today the weather is lovely.
