Now many of us are taking courses online and picking up new hobbies: learning how to cook, a new language, or how to draw. Many kids and teens are also taking their formal educational classes at home. Images depicting how you are learning in the home will be highly sought after this month. Some ideas are:
-How kids have taken responsibilities around the home. Kids cleaning their rooms, doing chores, and studying.
-Parents teaching and helping their kids with their studies.
-Illustrations and images detailing the experiences taking online courses, skill-building, and picking up new hobbies.
-Zoom calls and video learning content.
-Families playing and learning together (board games, reading, card games).
Collages

Now is the time to get creative and make a collage. Picking one theme in quarantine and basing a collage around that theme will be well-received this month. Possible themes are:
-Self-care. Drawing different ways a person can engage in self-care activities (face masks, meditation, vitamins, yoga) and make a collage out of those drawings.
-Cooking. Creating a collage with images of cooking utensils, and things around the kitchen (cakes, pastries, spoons, knives, kitchen appliances).
-Gardening. Collages of gardening tools and equipment (watering can, flowers, gardening gloves, wheelbarrow).
-Education. Collages of educational tools you are using now (pencils, notebooks, laptops, calculators).
