____________________________________________________________________________

1. Provide the original title of your junior paper.

Connections Between The Arts, Your Brain, and Your Health

2. What was your topic about? What was your position (belief) about the topic. Give pertinent
details. Explain #2 in a paragraph or less. If you have changed your topic, explain it here.

My topic was about the positive effects of art on the brain health of a person. It has been shown to
relieve stress, enhance skills needed for everyday life, and increase brain plasticity, which is
linked to intelligence. I wanted to explain and present art as a form of therapy and as a method to
cope with mental illnesses.

3. Explain the overall goal of your efforts by answering these questions:

a. Describe the community/ies you will focus on.

I will focus on students at my school.

b. Where will you go to find these people?

I will find them at school.

c. Explain HOW the community will benefit from your SLE.

It will benefit my community by presenting a good method for dealing with

mental and physical issues and showcase how art can be used to express emotions.
 d. At the end of your hours, how will YOU know you helped this community? How will
you measure this? 2-3 sentences.

I would know by asking people how they felt before and after participating in art
therapy. I would do this by conducting interviews and a survey.

4. Will you have a mentor? YES or NO
