Hello everyone!!

Instructions will be given clearly each time, do your best to follow through independently and thoughtfully. =)
This is a wonderful opportunity to build discipline and self-reliance.

In general, most assignments will require downloading a worksheet/document in order to print out. If that isn't possible, you can write it neatly on a piece of A4 paper.

Assignments may also involve self-correcting. If so, the answers will be given the following lesson/update.

I will also have suggested deadlines for each assignment. This is a guide for you to time-manage your work, and to make responsible choices.

Meanwhile, stay healthy and happy!

Find an inspiring flower of your choice. It could be a flower at home, in the garden, in a nature space like forest or parks. Do your best to sketch, draw the flower , color in with whatever art supplies you have... color pencils, water colors, or simply sketch using only a regular pencil.
