by Michael Cavna: Color us impressed by your sharply tinted art in these trying times…
The Washington Post recently asked readers to share artwork that they have been creating during the pandemic, and received more than 650 submissions.
Art came from near (Washington and its surrounding states) and far (Germany and England, with a nod to Guatemala). The entrants spanned from tweens to artists in their 90s. And the choice of media included oil and acrylic, flowers, cinder blocks, a dryer sheet and hot glue.
The Post considered not only the quality and creativity of the art, but also the fascinating accompanying backstories. Enduring quarantines, some artists rendered what isolation and loneliness felt like, while others depicted longed-for social scenes from a pre-pandemic time.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Michelle Dang of Pittsburgh has been awarded the GraphicDesignDegreeHub.com Creativity Scholarship for the spring 2021 semester. Dang, a graduate of Mt. Lebanon High School in Pittsburgh, PA, is a student at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
The $1,500 Graphic Design Creativity Scholarship award is to be used for tuition or academic supplies.
Dang has been very active in both her school and community. As a high school student, Dang and two other artists curated and hosted an art show entitled Earth and Space. They raised over $530 which they used to purchase art supplies for children in under-resourced West Virginia communities. In March 2020, Dang and two others commissioned drawings for 36 donors. They raised over $850, providing 4,250 meals for the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank. Through this, I learned how art can be used to serve others, Dane said in her application.
