This is my small intervention 1, I used mask as a technique, drawing their mood on the mask and wear their mask to communicate with other people, but can’t speak, only rely on body language, this lasted for 4 days. Finally, observe whether they rely on the mask to have better communication.
FEEDBACK
after the intervention, I got some feedback and their feelings from participants:
- at the beginning, they were unfamiliar, and a little embarrassed;
- if don’t draw something on the mask, it’s difficult to express(without the help of the drawing, they don’t know how to express)
- they can basically understand each other’s meaning, but there is also a slight deviation in the details
- can’t feel the other person’s mood
- without training, it is difficult to express with body language
REFLECTION
In the beginning, for my small intervention 1 and 2. Before the experiment, I think that communication and attractiveness are important, but I started to forget this in the following steps. I used mask as a technique, though it resolves a little embarrassment, it also increase the difficulty of communication. There are few information acquisition channels for online communication, a lot of interactive information is hidden, and it is difficult to feel the other’s person mood. And I found that if you want to increase the sense of communication and interaction, the content and process of communication will become more complicated. So how to make my project creative and interactive and not just like an only solution for temporary something I need to think more about in the future.
For the next step, I will continue to develop my intervention of the online drama therapy, develop the digital story. I also will consider the drawing as a technique to help people have a better communication style. (I also will do more secondary research on other therapy: https://www.verywellmind.com/art-therapy-for-troubled-teens-2610348 https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-gestalt-therapy-4584583 https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-art-therapy-2795755 ) and my intervention will focus on communication, interaction and creativity.
