There is no such thing as being a "traditional student" during a pandemic. I thought that sharing this image shows how much things changed and how we needed to adapt to continue to learn and grow as art students. This mandala was created as an alternative for an art class. It was difficult to continue to do art as a class when not everyone had what they needed. Finding things in nature was the best way everyone could complete the assignment because everyone had access to it.

Through Covid-19 my life has become very limited to work, home, and school. Yes at times I do go go out but not really compared to what I used to do before. I go to work most morning, come back home, and then continue on with my school work for the day. Barely seeing my neighbors or friends through out this whole process. Covid-19 has inspired great things within me but has also made me feel like I am almost in jail like many others and I miss outside dearly.

I chose this text document because I believe that the answer is within the question. 10, 20, or 100 years from now, historians looking back on the COVID-19 Epidemic are going to wonder what day-to-day life was like in quarantine. If this historian looks at all of the Hist. 106 students' responses to this assignment, they will find tons of primary sources that represent how they kept busy, what they did around the house, what they did for fun, what they did for work, and how their lives changed in general. This assignment is an opportunity for primary sources to actually be saved, documented, and remembered for future generations to come.
The Feeling of Being Quarantined
This is a sketch by a Springfield College junior enrolled in Prof. Ian Delahanty's HIST 106 class. It is a hand-drawn illustration of a coronavirus microbe surrounded by images associated with Springfield College and brief quotes from the artist's friends.

I decided to draw an image of what it is like to living during quarantine. I had some time on my hands and drawing is a huge stress reliever. I think it is important to preserve this drawing because I took quotes from people who I surround myself with and how they are feeling during this time. You will notice how people want to be back at Springfield College. The mast majority of students have lost a lot due to being away from teachers, friends, clubs and sports.
