Abstract
Description
In this acrylic paint artwork by Participant 319 from the group MLP Artists, titled "The Emotional Feelings," the participant describes their work: "This art piece represents the emotions that I have gone through during Covid. The first box shows the sun out before Covid when sports and other things weren't canceled. The second box shows how everything started to shut down and we started doing zoom meetings for school. If you look in that box on the side of the canvas it is raining. The third box shows when everything started going downhill when school ended for the summer. When you had to stay home and not do normal stuff that you would do in the summer such as vacations, seeing family, seeing friends, and playing sports. That is why I put the tornado in there because I used weather as my emotions. It was hard to put my own personal feelings into this painting but at the end it made me feel better that now I don't have to keep it just in my family."
