Roses and Thorns with IlluminArt
Written by: IS 49 Students
In our IlluminArt class,
we worked together!
And on our sad days,
it made us feel better!
In this class, we learned how to face our fears
And we became brave enough to share
our talents with all of our peers!
No fighting, no yelling,
and we felt comfortable all the time
No reason to be scared
No reason to hide!
We made the transition
just in time
From in-person to on-screen
A much different set design!
Communicating virtually
was at first a challenge,
But through managing our feelings at the time
We found a balance!
No matter the roses and thorns,
Our heads are held high on our good and bad days,
May we meet again with IlluminArt so when we come back
We can feel the same way!
