Proposal for Text Project

My idea for this project is to focus on verbal abuse and how compliments can help overcome all of the bad degrading comments. I want to use my hands a lot for this project instead of photoshop. I'm going to collage words around a person and underneath them to indicate the process of rising above all of the bad comments.

A Critique on Words

Most of the feedback I got from the class about my project was very positive. My fellow students really liked and understood my message behind the project and went in depth when discussing other possible meanings. Both the students and the teacher thought that the central idea was clearly represented. Everyone asked questions that could help me further the meaning of the piece or even give it double meanings. They also pointed out different ways that the piece could be interpreted. Some of these ways were closely linked to my original goal and others were completely different. The feedback I received from both the class and the teacher really helped me understand both the good and the bad things that are a part of this project and how I could make it better.

Personal Idea: Different ways to achieve success

I want to focus on the idea of success and how many different ways that there are to be successful. Everyone has something different that they are good at, so everyone obviously can't achieve success in the same thing. For the photo itself, I want to utilize color (probably paints) and have hands painted in different colors to show the different paths that could lead to success. The hands are going to be reaching towards something (success) to show that it is possible to be successful in your own way.
