Many are using extra time at home to gain new hobbies or learn different skills, and locals are helping each other improve. Vidisha Bajpai, a self-taught artist based in Southlake, teaches kids art through online classes with FaceTime and Zoom.
“They love these classes,” Vidisha says. “They enjoy my method of teaching, but more importantly, they are truly enjoying how they are able to tap into their creative skills and create beautiful pieces of artwork that they can hang in their rooms and/or share with their friends and family.”
Teaching around 10 to 12 sessions a week, Vidisha says she’s had students from Washington and Florida reach out for her classes.
“I was not sure initially if these online classes would work out,” Vidisha says. “But after being approached by my own students and people from other parts of the country, I have realized that it’s a very interesting and fun way to reach students in any part of the world.”
These classes provide an opportunity for kids to ease into an activity that can help their overall development.
“They find my classes a nice way of stimulating creativity in their kids in a fun and relaxing manner, and keep them away from playing video games and other online distractions,” Vidisha says after receiving parents’ feedback.
