Well, LJHS artists....we are indeed living in strange times but, rest-assured, I am here to help lift your spirits, get you back to creating and remind you that some of the greatest works of art have come to fruition during some of the toughest times in our history.
WE GOT THIS! Take a moment to check out this great article I found, Creative Resilience in a Time of Pandemic, by Erica Ginsberg via The Alliance for Media Arts + Culture and shoot me an email to let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from you - past, present or even future students! 1. Use this as an opportunity to dedicate more time to your life to be creative. 2. Take time to be inspired by the creativity of others. 3. Support your favorite arts organizations or artists. 4. Don’t be an island. 5. Know that you are not alone. 6. Ground yourself with something unrelated to the epidemic or work. 7. Take care of yourself. 8. Most of all, remember that resilience is not an end goal. It is a process. You are not alone and I look forward to seeing all the AMAZING, INSPIRING things we can do to shape OUR MOMENT IN HISTORY! |

GREGG SEGAL: Visual DiariesGregg Segal, filmmaker, writer and photographer, is best known for his portraits depicting people surrounded by their belongings. Whether it is their own trash as in the “7 Days of Garbage” photo project aiming to shed a light on mass consumption, waste, and healthy eating habits or his most recent work, Daily Bread, that asks children to collect everything they have eaten in a week, Segal's work serves as a snapshot to compare, raise awareness and document us as individuals while also holding a mirror up to our society.
