During this time, the process of creating art has become difficult in many ways. Javanna Phillips, a junior in Mrs. Edson’s ATA class, shares her experience with these changes. “The thing that's most different about art class virtually is that we really have to work with whatever is available and we're limited on supplies at home. I would scurry around and find anything I could use for a project. It can be tough sometimes.” Despite this, working online to create new and exciting artwork has proven to be educational and helped students improve skills they have never gotten the chance to perfect. “Something I have learned that will be very useful to me in the future is shading techniques. I have never been that great at shading, so the lessons in ATA have helped me to better my shading and find different ways to make my art look more realistic, even cartoon characters!” says Javanna.
