Closed Off
Art Foundations Pencil & Marker 2017 class of 2020 The Meaning: Not all girls are open, some just like to be closed off and to be by themselves. The Story: It's a girl that has been through a lot in her life and over time she gets a little closed off for everyone that tries to get close to her. The door is supposed to represent the wall that she has emotionally put up to try to protect herself. For mostly everyone she opens it just a little bit so they can see her but not that much about her. If she lets you in, then that makes you pretty special. Letting you in shows you that she trusts you. When you care for someone, a lot, they basically have the power to hurt you and actually letting them into your life is saying that you are willing to take that risk to have them in your life. |

Meaning: In this piece I wanted to show how someone feels when they are depressed because some people don't even know what we go through with depression. This drawing captures the moment at the end of a panic attack, when you are starting to calm down. You still feel alone and in your own little world and closed off from others. This work of art is suppose to show people, without depression, how people like us feel when its at its worst. It can be really cheerful and happy around us, but then we still have the same feelings inside.

Meaning: One of the struggle of life is depression. Different people cope with it in different ways. Most people cut themselves for the satisfaction of it. Some people do it because they cant control the pain that is going on in their life but cutting themselves is the only way they could think of that they could control the pain. Some people think that they deserve the pain that they cause themselves because of stuff that they did and are disgusted with themselves because of it. The message that I'm trying to send is that cutting isn't the answer. It doesn't help and it only gives you satisfaction for a short period of time. The only thing that it does succeed with for a long period of time is leaving a scar from the rest of your life. Reminding you every single day of what you did to yourself.
