Relationships
Obviously, there are a wide-variety of relationships each one of us as humans are a part of and as such, can be a complex topic to examine and develop. As you scroll down on this page, you will see text defining, explaining, and categorizing "Relationships". Although it is important to understand our relationships, it's more important to recognize the qualities of healthy relationships, identify our roles in making relationships successful, and examine the importance of relationships. Although the material on the topic pages of this mini-unit can be interpreted and applied to almost any relationship, the primary focus is on relationships with close friends and dating relationships. This is because for a teen, these relationships can be the source of great fulfillment, enjoyment reward while for others, a source of anxiety, disappointment and pain.

In these paintings I wanted to show the difference between two relationships, one healthy and one unhealthy. The first is showing an unhealthy relationship. I used aggressive and anxious colors, red and yellow, to convey the vibe of the situation. The yellow hand is intentionally limp, uncomfortable with the relationship but unable to pull away.
