THIS WEEK

Привет (hello) художница (art or painting?) студенты (students)! 😎

For starters, I do not plan on having live classes where you would have to be online and interacting with me at a specific time on Tuesdays--I feel like the that would be super hard to do, especially since all of my family is home currently, and my house is small, people walk in and out of rooms all the time and it would be distracting, plus it might be hard to coordinate with everyone if they ALSO have siblings who are trying to use the computer for their classes simultaneously...but I do have some ideas for how we can interact as a class and perhaps do some fun things altogether, more on that in a minute....

Sooooo....I'm going to have to change my format and plans for Advanced art probably THE MOST of all of my classes...and this might take me a bit to figure out. 😖 But I will do my best. I think you'll still be able to do your passports, but we will have to do presentations a bit differently, and if possible we might have you video and upload your presentations...or do it via video chat?? I don't know. I will try to get whatever supplies you need to you, I can drop them off at your houses, or we can arrange a pick up or I can even mail them to you, possibly.

Anyway....for the rest of the semester I am working on a plan to set up a chat room server on Dischord.gg. that I hope to have up and running sometime this week.... My husband assures me this is superior to a private Facebook group, which was my original idea. This will be a private server for my LINK students to interact with, where you will be able to post comments/questions and photos of your art!! We can even have a voice chat (and maybe play some art trivia games as a group??) and I can post videos I make and links to videos and websites that I find. I suspect that my lessons are going to vary much much more than I had originally planned for the rest of the school year, because I won't be able to share art supplies or demonstrate and interact with you as I'm used to doing. So it will be a learning experience for us all. But we can make the most out of a bad situation....I hope!

Anyway, I hope you are all well....I am praying for you all and for everyone else as this illness situation unfolds. God is in control and He loves and cares for you--I am using this time as an opportunity to draw closer to Him and to know Him even better. One of my friends recently told me: our Bibles are a well that has no end to its depth--we can always go deeper and learn and grow more, AND we can never be too holy, as in: there is always more we can examine in our lives and repent of and change. God is always good, and turns things that seem bad and awful into good for those who love Him. And sometimes He tests our faith and uses things to teach us and purifies us. But it's always for our good and His glory!!

Romans 5:3-5 King James Version (KJV)

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
