learning online is easy
Dear Diary, Learning online is easy. I just wanted you to know that. If you can use Facebook, you’ll be an expert in my online course site.

Documenting the farm Part 6 of 10 – Joanna Close
In my last two blog entries, I talked about how I began making art about my family’s farm.

From the 108 year old lady from Centennial Villa, to Coal Miners who were underground in Springhill, to me on the phone in the kitchen.
