Project Completion Report

Title
THANK YOU SUU COUNSELING AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Full Abstract
My project consists of making a ceramic sculptural installation wall Art piece, using principles of Chinese Painting, (painting, poetry, stamps, and calligraphy), and modern art, (expressionism). While I was attending the caps bereavement group, I was challenged to do something to help me understand the emotions I was feeling. I wrote a poem about my wife, and while taking Chinese Painting, my teacher Translated it into Chinese and wrote down the characters. Using the Principles of Chinese court painting, I have chosen Flowers as the main motive, and using my translated poem as the main vocal point. I bring it all together using modern expressionist found art principles, I will achieve my desired effect. This sculptural piece will be made in the ceramic studio, and I will be seeking advice from both my ceramic, and sculpture instructors. My material cost will be very low, because I have already scrounged up all the materials I need, I’ll just need a small miscellaneous budget.

Goals and Outcomes

I used art to help SUU students relieve the students of their anxieties, and to help calm their fears. I chose to seek Caps help, it was a very difficult decision, it took me several attempts just to walk through the door. I have contributed to helping out the other students to feel less anxious and to relieve them of their fears. I feel as if I have helped them when CAPS was there for me.
I did an Art piece, with a poem, in Chinese calligraphy. This piece is done in modern art principles, and Chinese painting principles. The ceramic art piece is now on display in CAPS. I feel as if when the students come in they can feel more at peace due to the art work that has been placed in there. I feel accomplished and blessed that I can help someone else when Caps helped me so greatly.
Art usually has a calming effect. Through art I have helped students to feel good about seeking psychological counseling. There are students right now who won’t use this service, for whatever reason. I feel I reached my main goal to help change this culture. If I have helped anyone out there I have reached my goal.
Deliverables
This a picture of my finished art piece that is now hanging in CAPS. I feel like this is one of the best pieces that I have done! I really like this, and hope that I have helped other students overcome their fears!
