Summary

This book was developed over the course of the shelter-in-place that was issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As I'm sure many can relate, what seemingly began as a much-needed rest from the often overwhelming nature of daily life revealed itself to truly be a shocking period of isolation. Thus, I, like many others, sought to replace the ways in which we had connected and created with one that would be compatible with the times. I found art to be this medium. While making these projects initially served as a way for me to give back to my local communities, over the course of time, a few specific goals that I hoped to accomplish have emerged. One of them is to use what is already available in the home and make art with sustainable objects that would otherwise be overlooked and ultimately discarded. Another is to encourage young children to experiment creatively. My main aim, however, is to make my projects as accessible as I possibly could - overall, the message that I would like to convey through this book is that no matter who we are, where we come from, and the obstacles that life may present, we all deserve the opportunity to make art.
