Despite saying I was basing my approach off of Learn To Draw From 0 To 100 by Draw Like a Sir, I decided to skip his recommendation to move from shapes to simple and rough anatomy until later, and dip my toe into perspective. At the start of the week, I wished to have a

This week my focus was to understand yoga a bit better, and appreciate the practice. This week I got more comfortable with the Yoga | Mind + Body app and found myself using it a few times this week. This week I spent just over one hour doing yoga. Alt…

The digital and technological aspect of our lives has us in a tightly wound grip. Just about every individual I know is glued to a screen or let’s face it, relies on a screen throughout most of their day. To be honest, I’m also that person. In my personal life, I have my iPhone, Apple Watch, and Air Pods no more than 5 feet away at all times. It’s interesting to me when I get perspective and think about my…

Okay, I know I’m a post behind on my learning project, but I have a good reason: I made an eleventh hour change to the …

This week I tasked myself with making a wood-cutting board. My idea was to create something similar to what is depicted in the image below. Using a few different colours of wood to create a pattern. Seems simple enough, but now I needed to pick what type of wood I would be using. My technology […]

Does anyone even remember what we did before we had the internet to use as our go-to? Yeah, actually I do because the internet wasn’t generally used until I was almost a teenager! How did we survive or accomplish anything before YouTube?! We went to the library […]

It could be from being on our laptops all day for work or from laying in bed until 2am scrolling on TikTok (which I assume is the problem for many). While technology can be a tool for many things, I believe that we … Continue reading Is Screen Time Good or Bad?
Continue readingTechnology and Me
Taking the time to focus and think about how I use technology in my day to day life has been a fascinating experience. As I own a flip phone (yes, they still exist and are great!) most of my access to the internet and technology is done through the use of my Samsung Tablet. The

Last week’s class was very interesting to me as I watched names of apps pop up in our discussion that I have never used, some I had never heard of. Welcome to the life of someone who basically avoids technology and is likely many, many years older than the average student in this class! […]

The plan throughout last week was to learn how to “cast on” and learn the basic knit stitch to develop my knitting skills further. This called for a trip to the store to gather all of the supplies I would need. As I am just starting, I kept the shopping to a minimum as I only needed to figure out how to get the yarn on my knitting needles and learn a basic stitch this week. My purchases included a…
