Stuck inside without a daily amble past architecture to sustain your interest?

Architecture obsessors rejoice! It's not the same as viewing a structure yourself, standing in front, taking in the details.

But the Internet has not forgotten you!

For current Australian architecture turn to:

It's the weekend!

OK. Time for a break from the weekly stress and strains; especially those of the past week.

So here's a website for the young and young at heart.

One for kids of any age! The young and young at heart.

Anybody remember the old scrapbooks? Just large exercise books with blank pages. Nothing like the couture versions to be bought in craft shops these days!

If you've been caught in isolation without supplies you'd like to have, there's always something on-line to check out!

How about this website to keep on your favorites list? Even if you (or your loved ones) just want to doodle, it's all there including coloring pages you can print out for people of all ages.

And one for the music lovers!

Just because you're at home, doesn't mean you can't dance while there.

From the U.S. Library of Congress, check out the National Jukebox!

One for the artist's and art lovers among us!

Time to catch up on your Art theory and history, all that stuff you wish you remembered from Gombrich or Jansen but have never had the opportunity to check out again for yourself, in your own time.

This Visual Arts encyclopedia is precious, especially for those who need a fact fast. 0:)

Ever wondered about your favorite public figures, celebrities or those who have gone before? Now you have time to check them out!

Ever found yourself wondering about somebody whose name you come across on-line or in the news or chat?

Now you have time to actually head on-line and check them out!

Here's my great-great-grandmother's brother. And yes, he amazingly did survive to finally die in an asylum in his 70s; of dementia (hardly surprising under the circumstances)!

Bibliophiles rejoice! We have the Internet in our midst.

Feeling the agony of closed libraries and bookshops? The withdrawal symptoms of no book club meetings this week?
Check this out!
https://archive.org/

Enough content and materials to last you a lifetime!

But if that isn't sufficient, read all your books to yourself then offer to read to your family members, relatives or neighbours who can share their books with you. You can still socially isolate yourselves as required: Skye et al are wonderful inventions! (Or you can read to each other through a chink in the fence.)

And in between you can watch the animals at the zoo teach us all how to relax and enjoy the moment!

A renewal of Nuvo Artes; requested by the United Nations & the International Court of Justice.

Welcome back to the Nuvo Artes blog, an extension of my thoughts regarding (and relating to) my work as a United Nations Ambassador to the Arts and Media.

At the request of the United Nations and the International Court of Justice, I will be posting about any and all matters relating to the Arts and Media, throughout the world.

Looking forward to the journey!
