Studying Art in a Pandemic
Wow okay I meant to write this post a while ago but here are some takeaways I’ve learned through finishing this past semester.
1. It’s okay to grieve.
There are a lot of articles and videos on how to be your most productive self during quarantine now that you have so much free time but it’s okay to have a day where you just want to grieve and think about how much this has and will take away from you. For me, I was supposed to study in Italy for a month this summer but that’s obviously been cancelled, and there are things in the future that are uncertain. It’s okay to not pretend like everything is fine and this doesn’t affect you at all.
2. You’ll have to adapt.
And as artists this is something that we’re used to. Whether it’s because of ourselves or outside factors we are creative people who are flexible and can get through the toughest of situations. Many of my end of term assignments were converted to written assignments or had to be completed digitally. As we enter an uncertain future be kind to your professors and teachers as they try to convert their curriculum to one that can be completed virtually.
3. Get outside your room.
There was a period during early April where I did not breathe in fresh air for 2 weeks straight, and that almost drove me insane. You are used to going outside at least a little bit even if you’re the most introverted person ever. As the weather starts to get warmer take the chance to take walks if you’re able to, or just open the window to enjoy the outdoors as much as you can. Of course, keep in mind to stay 6 feet away from others as much as possible.
4. Create a schedule.
While it’s easy to get into the habit of staying up until 5am and waking up at 3pm, try to create a regular schedule that resembles a bit of your life before the pandemic. I usually wake up around 9am and go to sleep at 1am. This will help keep some sense of normalcy and will make the transition to “regular” life after this easier.
5. Self-discipline is key.
If you’re taking a summer course or if we have to continue online learning when school starts up again, you’ll have to create a timeline that you can follow. Similar to regular classes where you should schedule times to work on homework or assignments anyways, this is crucial when you are learning online. It’s easy to get distracted and lose track of time or even what day it is. When we first started learning at home I lost a lot of motivation and procrastinate many assignments until the last minute which left me stressed and overwhelmed. For my upcoming summer course, I created a realistic schedule to hopefully keep me on track. I’ll keep you updated.
These are difficult times and I will forever be thankful that my professors and instructors have been extremely understanding. If that is not the case for you I hope you are doing your best to work the circumstances and my inbox is always free to talk.
I want a reality TV show shot like The Office but it's about a high school theater department. Like the tech crew is the warehouse guys and it would be great just lemme tell you
