I believe that participating in a global project is exciting. Knowing that something small as one contribution to a huge collection can make a difference in the world. Knowing the background of the project by watching the video about how it started is also very exciting because you know it worked if it’s still going on.
The people I used in this project were myself, and my two friends Shannon and Taylor. When I asked them if I could take a picture of their face the first reaction was “Can you take away my acne?” and I was like “Of course so is it a deal?” And they accepted. First they didn’t now how close I was going to get to their faces and if they were suppose to smile or not. I told them to make a strong face of something they believed in and at first they didn’t know what I was talking about so I told them to just smile. The pictures still turned out great. I used photoshop to take away their acne like I promised and the lines under their eyes so they look young and awake. Other than using black and white afterwards there wasn’t any major changes. It took me awhile to get a picture of myself since I was alone but after about 20 pictures I got a good one.
I believe very strongly that art can change the world. Art is what everyone sees on a daily basis. Art isn’t just painting and drawing. Posters and advertisements are art as well and people are swayed by what they see in the media. So yes art can change the world if you get enough people to look at it.
