Why I chose to research this topic
As I am writing this, it is very hard for me to believe that this was my last Apollo project. This being my fourth year taking the course, as you may be able to tell from my website, I have always had a passion for learning about psychology. (I am actually majoring in psychology, bachelor of science, in the fall at Penn State). I wanted to end this project continuing to learn about people and relationships since I have been studying about the brain and people most of my Apollo journey. I would like to thank the teachers for creating such an impactful program not only academically, but for my self growth as an individual as well. No words can really describe how much Apollo changed the way I view my education. A special thank you to Mrs. Goodrich, Mr. Grandi, Mr. Ward and Mr. Wimmer for all that you have done for all of us students. We really appreciate you all. :)
EnglishFor the English portion of my project, I created an infographic discussing the statement about, "Childhood Trauma and Low Self-Esteem and How They Affect Interpersonal Relationships". I explained each of the factors that go into the affect on the relationships to focus on the "What" and then explained the "How" aspect to completely cover all of the information that I researched and made sure that I was being detailed enough throughout my infographic.
Synthesis was shown throughout my project process when it came to research. I used information from several sources so I was synthesizing the information from different outlets, instead of just one. I also showed synthesis by researching how to create infographics and using ideas from different examples of those infographics listed. |

Art
For the art portion of my project, I created a piece of artwork representing a women in an abusive relationships because she doesn't feel like she is good enough, which is also known as low self-esteem. There are words written across her body showing words that her partner is using to put her down and mentally abuse her. She also experience childhood trauma when she was young so she feels that this relationship is normal to her. The goal of my art piece is to create awareness to many individuals who may be experiencing something similar in their relationship, and to motivate them to try to get help out of that relationship.
Synthesis was shown throughout my project by using several pieces of artwork and using ideas from each to create one piece that includes a little piece of them all. I used the little colorful pieces from one artwork, the wording from another artwork, and the grey and black color scale and an "X" covering the mouth from another artist. They all have the same idea, just represented in different ways. |
