Description

The Hong Kong young generation in particular is under tremendous pressure. The research had revealed the Top 7 sources of pressure of local young people, which are: 1) Career Prospect; 2) Academic Achievement; 3) Parental Expectation; 4) Relationship; 5) Financial Pressure; 6) Social Environment; 7) Personal Values.

The design concept of this project is based on “Art as therapy”, which puts emphasis on the healing effect of art making process. This project has experimented on using different art mediums and colours to create illustrations of the Top 7 sources of pressure according to their characteristics. It aims to encourage young people to create their artworks and diagnose their emotional problems as a means to heal themselves and reduce stress.

香港青少年普遍受到情緒困擾，研究顯示近年本港青年主要有七大壓力來源，包括：1）前途壓力；2）學業壓力；3）家庭壓力；4）朋輩壓力；5）金錢壓力；6）社群壓力；7）自我壓力。

本項設計根據各種藝術媒材的特性創作了七大壓力來源的圖畫，希望鼓勵年青人嘗試用藝術創作的方式解讀情緒和釋放壓力，達到自我療癒的效果。
