Happiness 101 assignment

I think a cool idea for this assignment would be to photograph one of my classmates holding a smiling mask in front of their face. This is takes us back to the first part of the essay when the students were asked to do things that maike them happy they all did things like get drunk or had sex but what brought them real happiness is when they did something special for someone else. I think holding a happy mask in front of the face will show that.

The other idea that I have is to take two pictures of one of my classmates one would be a depressed look or a frown and the other would be a happy smile. I want to photoshop it together so I can show the depression as well as the happiness talked about in the article.

I love the idea of the mask. The mask brings out the question about whether the course can teach real happiness. I wish you had been able to realize this idea.

I must have just missed you on April 9th as I checked all the blogs that morning.
