AWA on Zoom

HI all-

From here on out I will be offering 11 am art meet ups. These will a fun 30 minutes of talking about and sharing art, dreams, thoughts, jokes and sometimes music. I will be giving an art assignment each class. All are welcome. These meet ups feel like a party line. If we start to get too crowded happy to add on. If you'd like to donate any amount to help keep the AWA studio running during these difficult times i am enclosing my Venmo.

Here's the link for the 11am meet up:

Afternoon art class
This link is for students who normally come to the studio on a certain day. If you'd like to drop in on these that's fine with me. i expect these are smaller groups and the kids pretty much know one another.

i set this up as a 2;30-3 and 3-3;30 time. Thinking this will soon just be one long meeting. i’m trying all this out to see what works best.

Topic: AWA studio art class Part 1 - 2:30 pm

AWA Covid 19 response

Hello Art with Amy community,

As painful as this is for me I am shutting my studio down for the next couple of weeks. I will not be running any art classes this week and next. It is the most responsible thing to do under the current circumstances. Not sure what lies around the corner so I will be in touch.

I plan on running a daily Amy With Amy on Zoom video where I will show the kids what I'm working on and they can show me what they are up to. Hoping many of you will tune in and join on. The exact plan is in the works and I'll follow up with that soon. Realizing this does not replace actual studio time but hoping this helps with the quarantine.

Many of you have read this article by a Brookline parent. If not it is an important read.

Another you have likely seen...this visually shows how we can slow down the virus together.

Already missing all of you!

More soon.

Stay healthy!
