‘PTSD, Art and Me’ is a short animation depicting how art helps me to cope with PTSD. I began this project with two goals in mind:
The first is to spread awareness of the benefits of using the visual arts as a coping mechanism.
The second was to explore and expand my animation skills.
‘PTSD, Art and Me’ is 71 seconds long and shot in a phone aspect ratio to be posted as a Tik-tok or Instagram Reel and spread via social media.
I used a mixture of Procreate Dreams and After Effects to make this animation, as well as Photoshop and Procreate to draw the assets.
