Project:
We started a new project that involved humanities, Chemistry and Art. This project was based on mental illnesses that people all around the world go through. Each one of us were in partners and had to chose a mental illness and do a story, Art piece and a case report about it. At the end, we had an exhibition. The disorder that I researched was " Sleep paraylises". I chose this topic because i knew what it was already and i found it interesting to make a project out of it.
What is sleep paraylises?
Even though I knew what sleep paralyises is, I didn't know everything about it so i had to do more research. We had to do a story that involved sleep paraylises, my story was basically about a teenage girl who was going through depression and sleep paraylies but didn't know what it was so she felt like she was going crazy and lost all her friends until she meant a boy that ended up being her boyfriend and changed everything. Sleep paraylies is a mental illnesses that happens to mostly everyone in there life time. But it's very rare if it becomes a big problem that could ruin your life which has happended to many people all around the world.
Exhibition:
Exhibition was different from the exhibitions we have done before. It was pretty fun because we didn't only teach them about the mental illness, we also had them do a activity that we had to come up with. I had them water paint something or someone they love to make them feel comforable and let there stress go. I believe it worked because many people were giving me compelements about it and told me they felt relieved after doing the activity.
