Yesterday I talked about how hard it is to stay at home and do nothing because as humans we want to help in any way that we can and that usually means assembling in groups and actually working together. But now, we are being told that we should not do that under any circumstances.
Today, I filmed/face-timed with Jesse Irwin, the morning news anchor on KOAM. He was working at his house and I was working at my house and we were both making art projects and crafts that parents could do at home with their kids. The 3-minute segments will be airing on the morning show later this week and will be posted on their website too. We made coffee painting, aluminum foil sculptures, leaf rubbings, action marble paintings, and coffee filter butterflies. We both scrounged around the house for as many things as we could find that we already had on hand and I explained the process while he followed along. The idea is that even if a family doesn't have many supplies at home, they could still do a craft and make something together as a distraction, for fun. I guess you could say that I am photogenic, but admittedly, I stink at interviews and acting in general....I'm hoping the footage is usable, because I feel like all I did was laugh at his mess ups and say the word 'thing' over and over again. It felt good to contribute, to be productive and to feel like I was 'helping' in some sort of way.....I was able to use my talents and resources to do something for the greater good. I'm not curing the Corona, but I'm at least trying to cure the boredom and help people who are taking care of kids.
