In My Head

Catharsis

Something i like is to do is to take my mental state and turn it into a work of art.

To create a visual representation of a thought or feeling.

i've made multiple drawings based on my mental health and different thoughts.

On a side note: i'm good at drawing but bad at painting. If anyone were to ever wish to see them for some unknown reason, i could make a separate book or something to show them.

Once, i had to do a freelance painting for art class, and i already had something i wished to make on my mind for a very long while, hence i decided to manifest it since i was unable to do it previously and then i had a chance to do it while also completing a task along with it.

When the professor saw my sketch, he was quite interested and he proceeded to show me an artist i might be interested in, along with sending me some photos of a magazine.

i had some mixed feeling with the magazine since it was about artwork made by others with mental health problems that had them be in a psychiatric hospital. The artwork was amazing including the stories and information about them.

The issue with my mixed feelings about the situation is that i had told the professor my painting was very personal and it was a visual representation of my mental health problems and perception. The professor sent me the magazine articles and told me many artists turned their inner turmoil into art (which is common knowledge). What bothered was that the professor said the artwork was made by others that are crazy, which made me uncomfortable with the fact that the professor knew about my mental health and my interpretation was that he thought i was crazy because of my mental problems.

Even so, i didn't voice my discomfort, and the professor is actually a great individual though. So far that has been the only issue in regards to comments that make me uneasy.
