Amirah Knox Capstone

What I did for my project was paint a series of paintings depicting how mental health affects students at SLA. I like to consider myself a bit of an artist, I'm going to minor in studio art in college. I myself suffer from a few mental illnesses and one of my coping skills is painting. So, for my capstone, I decided to survey students in SLA about how mental health affects them and I turned their responses into paintings. I made sure to survey students from each grade so that my paintings are representative, and then I took their responses and put them in a painting. With these paintings, I hope to raise mental health awareness as well as help my peers understand how mental health affects people and their everyday life. Please enjoy and spread your new found knowledge! Thank you.
