How have Wakefield students dealt with the stress of senior year  

I have made two poster projects representing my topic of what students struggle to deal with in their daily lives. My first poster project is an illustration of a student’s mind and all the stress the student is thinking about whether it be homework or personal challenges. The blue clouds represent the worries of the student and in the bubbles the small thoughts that are running through the student's mind. I emphasized the lines in the brain showing that there isn't only one problem a student has to think of there are multiple thoughts. The written words in the bubbles allow the viewer to relate to the picture at a personal level. I also added a text of words coming out of the student pretending to be fine while having multiple negative thoughts going on in their head. In the sketched box below I added a text showing that you never know what is going on inside someone's head showing the person viewing this illustration that everyone has negative thoughts going on and not everyone is as they seem which relates to my thesis topic. This piece solely is about how students struggle with their thoughts. This piece evidently doesn't have lots of color reasoning being that it isn't always colorful in one’s mind.

​

This other piece is a little bit more positive, this drawing gives a sense of awareness to the viewer while showing the ways to help one’s mental health. Each individual box shows an illustration of different examples of coping strategies. With the cooler shades being used in this coloring I feel like it has given an assuring feeling to the viewer while also getting the point across.
