I drew a picture to express how I don’t want Coronavirus to exist anymore.
My picture shows a doctor holding a syringe in one hand and a wooden clipboard in the other hand.
I drew a rainbow to make people feel happy during this time.
The doctor is saying “No, no, no, get out virus!”

Peace and quiet
Here in my room
Alone.
Building my fort
Listening to calming music
The sound of waterfall
I can sleep
I am as calm
As a praying mantis.
My eyes close
Like a cheetah
I feel safe from Covid
In my room
Calm.

"Waves in Japan"
Art Teacher: Shulie Cooper
My painting is about waves. The waves make me feel calm. I think of the sound of the waves hitting with sand. The waves make me feel great because I think of going on vacations in California that we can't do right now because of COVID. We went to the beach at Carmel-by-the-Sea and built sandcastles and played in the waves. It makes me sad that we can't go now but we will go back after COVID is over. I love my painting because it's so colorful.

“Our Heroes”
Covid-19 has affected all countries and peoples especially women,
children, and old people.
Doctors, nurses, teachers, and policemen risk their lives
to save millions of people.
Doctors heal many people from Covid-19 and
nurses take care of old people who need help.
Policemen maintain order and make sure that we are safe.
Teachers risk their lives to teach students and children.
They are heroes and we should remember their deeds.
We need to write stories and shoot movies about them.
Also, we can draw paintings, and take photos, and create songs all about our heroes.
We feel that we are safe because our heroes are next to us and they protect us, they are our Angels.

“My Moms Angels”
This person is my mom.
I drew my mom because she is a nurse.
My mom uses these tools because she needs to take care of people that have COVID.
My mom wears masks and goggles or a face shield just to be in the same room as a patient because COVID is very contagious. She needs scrubs because nurses wear uniforms.
I drew angels because I want them watching over my mother.
I don't want her to catch COVID.
My mom works hard as a nurse and I worry about her working in the hospital with sick people

“Covid-19 Front-Liners”
I am thankful for all of them for helping us during this COVID-19 because
they also do their job so well.
I used bright colors I love blending and mixing.
I made different backgrounds for each of them because I wanted it to be different worlds for all of them.
I wrote a letter to each of them.
I drew policemen, doctors, nurses, custodian workers, and firemen.
They are helping people.
I drew the virus because they are fighting it
and wearing a mask to keep safe from it.
I want people to think that everyone should be safe from COVID-19 and always wear their masks and inspire people to do artworks like this.

“A Coronavirus Street”
COVID-19 changed the world and how people interact with each other.
I feel disappointed that I cannot see my friends or come close to them.
Sometimes I feel I have gotten too close to someone
when I am talking or playing.
Now you can’t go to places with too many people
because we all are taking a risk.
When I began my artwork, I wasn’t planning to add as many germs as I did.
As I kept working, I wanted to put more germs
because they are the reason people are 6 feet apart.
The size of the germs shows how dangerous they are.
I like my artwork because I got across
what I want people to know.

“The Masked Lady”
In 2020, I drew myself black and white because I didn't feel like I had color.
Because of COVID, I was feeling, very depressed and sad. Whenever I would watch the News channel, I would cover my ears because there is always something bad happening about COVID-19. It effects how I feel A LOT.
Before COVID-19, I drew myself happy and in color because everything was perfectly fine.
I drew hearts in the middle of my shirt. In 2019 the heart is completed.
In 2020, the heart is broken because I felt that there will be more years of COVID-19, where I'll have to wear masks and wash my hands.

"Hope"
My drawing symbolizes hope when things are really bad. The yin and yang flower shows that everything dark has light, and everything light has dark; you can’t have one without the other, you take the good with the bad. The burning buildings are a metaphor for destruction that can’t be stopped easily and the destruction in this case is the coronavirus pandemic. But there’s still hope, like the 3 ants working together to carry food and the butterflies sticking together. The sky's still blue and will always be that way as you long as you keep going. I chose a messier coloring design because it shows that my picture isn’t reality and just how I see things. It’s like an analogy.

My drawing represents how we were practically falling apart during quarantine. Personally, my room looked like a pig room. My clothes were everywhere, my phone was always under 20 percent. I would always look at my bag and realize how much i missed school and I would look at all the masks in the living room and i always think ‘’why are we stuck in this pandemic.’’ I would look at the cases rise and think ‘’what happened’’.

Being in a pandemic was harder than anything. This was a tough experience for everyone. It was hard for me. But I found a hobby that I really liked. Cosplaying. This puts me in the shoes of so many interesting characters. It lets my mind explore different characters and places when I am feeling down. This drawing is inspired by Tsumugi Shirogane. I can relate to her and it’s what got me through the pandemic.

"Wearing a Mask"
I drew this to stay safe from Covid-19 and to show people how to wear masks to protect themselves. Also, we can finish Covid-19 if people keep on wearing the mask. In that way everybody could go back to normal again. People can watch the game at the stadium, and family and friends can come and watch me play baseball. We can have more games to play outdoors with our friends and teammates without thinking about Covid-19 being spread to others.

I made this piece of art because during COVID-19 last spring Black people were treated unfairly, so I drew a picture of a protest happening! So I Made sure every single face is a different color because we are all different. And I put some people holding up "Black Lives Matter" posters because that's what this project is all about, Black Lives Matter! So then I made them march by some buildings because in real life, I remember seeing a march when I woke up. Then I dressed them up differently because everyone has a different taste of style.

My experience with Covid 19 was really sad. it took us away from the outside world. We stopped seeing nature, our friends, our teachers, our family. I felt scared of what I heard on the news, but the presence of my parents and the beginning of virtual classes helped me relax a bit. Thanks to technology I was able to communicate with my friends. My teacher’s words of encouragement calmed us and encouraged us to fight this hard battle. It is important for us to see each other again, talk, play as friends. even if we can't hug, we are happy to know that our friends are well and that one day we will play just like we did before.

Honestly when Corona started, I didn't really know about it. When i saw people in my school starting to wear masks I was weirded out. But then more people started getting sick and my babysitter told me that I should wear a mask to school. I began to wear a mask and my parents took me home to Manhattan. I was happy to be there. I stayed home more and more and remote school started. I stayed inside almost 9 months! When I finally went outside it felt very weird. It was so bright outside. I felt like I came out from living under a rock in plain darkness. I felt cold and weird, and went back inside.

In the Pandemic I feel really stuck. The Pandemic has gotten worse and I can’t go out because of that. So that makes me upset because it's really boring at home, plus there isn't much I can do at home. I haven't gotten outside for a long time. I used to like to stay home but now I feel i have to go out but I can't. When this Pandemic wasn't here, I didn't like going to school but now I hate online school and I feel like going to school is not that bad, because I can get distracted in class. So, I don't really like this Pandemic and it is getting quiet boring at home.

"Ghost Town"
Some ways that I viewed the outside world while being cooped up on the inside was through thinking and using my imagination. I saw the outside world as a ghost town and it was very dreary (dull, bleak, lifeless and depressing). I viewed the outside world like this because the COVID-19 pandemic hit really hard and everyone stayed inside and only went out for essentials. It was depressing for those people who love the outdoors. This Pandemic increased crime and it is still hard staying cooped--up inside. Some of the challenges in creating this portrait was drawing the shape of the head like Modigliani, but the most successful part of my drawing are the accessories.

Since the beginning of the pandemic people had to stay at home. Staying home all day is pretty boring unless you have something to do. My art describes a person who is yawning and wearing pajamas since they are not going anywhere but staying home.
The room in my artwork is a very quiet and peaceful bedroom. In the bedroom where I create my artwork there is a light, a shelf and a bed which is what a normal room should have. The person living there just stares at the walls or sleeps all day. That's called "Boredom".

COVID-19 is everywhere. It is very scary and dangerous for everyone. But we could do simple things like wearing face masks and keeping social distancing, we could keep ourselves healthy and safe. I wear mask to keep my family safe, especially my grandparents. They are very old and I don't want them getting sick. Wearing mask and keep social distancing easiest things I can do to be safe and healthy. And we will all be happier and safer.
