I really enjoy making art. Art is fun during remote school. It has helped me a lot when I've felt stressed or bored during quarantine. My artwork shows the silhouette of a tree in front of a colorful sunset on a hike. I normally see a lot of buildings outside my window and wish I could be outdoors more instead of being home a lot this past year. I want to see more trees like this one, be in nature and go on hikes more. I showed how I feel in my drawing since the tree is like Covid, blocking out some light, and the sunset in the background is vibrant and hopeful to show that things will be better soon.
