The Art of It All

What have you learned about yourself or the world as a result of living through the COVID-19 pandemic? Your challenge is to express your experience of living through this historic time through a work of art.

Cloudy Thoughts

Summary

Covid-19 is a new challenge that did not occur for nearly 100 years. Nevertheless, we always have to spread positivity as it's our plane to safety. In Cloudy Thoughts, we adopted this policy by creating a free area to be our virtual plane- or cloud. It has many different sections starting with the gallery where you could share your thoughts by simply Art. It can be hand-drawing, digital, symbolic, or anything comes to your mind. You can also write, read some advice or simply observe with us.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Our website is a free space for free spirits. It helps people to engage in a wonderful world full of people who are not professionals but enjoy what they do. Starting with art to writing to advice, it is all a process of keeping our minds sane and healthy during the hard time we face and the number of people who fall victim to depression. So by implementing your thoughts in different ways, it helps you cope with the events and enjoy your time and stay.

How We Developed This Project

Currently, the misery and all the hard time we face on daily bases has caused us sometimes to forget what really matters, our own happiness. Happiness that we feel every time we paint a new drawing or when we write a new story or article. Even when we only talk about nonsense to other people but it is what makes us happy. But now, it is hard to cope with all that while being afraid of death and infection. It is support and having each other’s back that encourages us to continue. We chose this challenge because we appreciate art and its power to please us and keep us sane.

First, we decided that it would be for people who need someone to talk to; then, we decided to add gallery part as we believe that Art is one of the best ways to express feelings.  We used picture data from NASA in our gallery. The web site was built by Wix.com, a well-known website host and builder, and the Drawings were done using the Adobe Photoshop program.  

One problem we faced was the distance between us, as discussing ideas and delivering work become much harder; another difficulty was combing art, space, and the pandemic together, but we have finally finished the website.
