Welcome to

People are spending more time in their homes due to COVID-19 and are getting tired of the monotony. Known as pandemic fatigue, this can lead to feelings of anxiety, boredom, and frustration. 

Art is often considered to be an unnecessary subject. According to the American Association of School Administrators, “When school budgets get tight, elementary-level art and music programs are among the first to be reduced or eliminated.”  

Art is proven to improve mental health - “researchers have used biofeedback to study the effects of visual art on neural circuits and neuroendocrine markers to find biological evidence that visual art promotes health, wellness and fosters adaptive responses to stress” (“Brain...health”). 

Art is also very beneficial for developing minds, so it’s important to learn at a young age. “The arts play an important role in human development, enhancing the growth of cognitive, emotional, and psychomotor pathways” (“How...Brain”).
