I personally feel that politics should not be in our Foxy academy,every day am on TikTok ,because am so tired of it and sick of it .i get upset when I see both parties getting angry ,instead of getting the temperature down .people don’t know how to use their valuable time for art or crafts or even do something fun and constructive.,am an early childhood infant toddler teacher retired ,and I always make sure that kids educate it ,to get them ready for preschool and pre-K and kindergarten.
But today’s kids generation,all do they is social media apps ,or at least put a time of day to be on their devices,even adults like me ,should be on devices on short moments ,sometimes us as humans forget to learn ,forget to journal or write ,or read books ,yes we had many historical on our ancestors during the KKK and so on ,and many people where hurt mentally and physically and emotionally. Am retired now and an ovarian cancer survivor in remission and stable ,all I want is to relax do art ,read and write lettering ,improve art and so on ..I also feel ,that we need. To take a brake ,and focus on art therapy ,I take monthly support groups ,in my cancer community ,because what cancer did to my body ,and sometimes I don’t have choice to get away from health issues that am still dealing with .on weekends I take a me time for homework assignments from Foxy academy to distract myself from what we all see on tv .i also attend church ,as it’s my escape place ,for prayers and comfort..but politics should never be a place for our fun art ,as this is our safe space,and it should be kept sacred and safe ..unless something needs to be,addressed,if any of us broke the rules ,then yes talk about it ,as that we are all in the same page and agreement and understanding

I am working on this new art project that I got myself during Christmas advent calendar,it’s nice ,because I wanted to reflect and a take a me time during Christmas winter brake for 24 days during advent Christmas calendar,and I truly enjoy it and had a blast, during tge Christmas advent calendar,each day I would open one calendar day every day for 24 days ,and I got new tools that I can now use them in this class and during live sessions and I got a brand new set of good professional markers that I can to practice during class as well .i felt this is very helpful for me to find out who I am as a beginner and semi experienced artists,but I still have long ways to go .i meant to share this last week,but was having technical issues with my devices,that I could not share it at the Foxy academy.thankfully the Foxy academy tech support was successful,and able to get back in here again ,and yay 😁.i can now share this everyone.. it’s still in working progress ,but good or bad critics are good for me ,as that way I can become a better student and keep practicing while I learn at the Foxy academy
