So it took me days upon days of thinking, "What the heck can I do to spread some artwork throughout the school without doing something unlawful?"
My ideas consisted of:
1. Paper cups scattered throughout the school with facial expressions and discussions about keeping our earth clean.
Only one problem: Kinda hypocritical!
2. Using a laptop and a projector to display an image on a wall in the school.
Only many problems: My laptop got a hole burned into it, I am not sure how I could keep my equipment from being potentially stolen, and it's not very inconspicuous.
Well, that's all I can think of. I think I'll watch Youtube!
Wanna see?
Wanna see?
... LOL! What the heck was that! I was just totally thrown off! That was so random... What is that thing? A pistachio dog thing? WOW! LOL!
OH my God. That thing just gave me the best reaction... The reaction I want to give to some random students! By God, I HAVE AN IDEA! Genius!
Shitteru? [Did you know?]
Okay, so if it were up to me, I totally would have provided the "plain fun" portion of this activity. But I felt that maybe it'd be easier to grab people's attention if I was spreading random facts of information that were about happiness.
So, I made some posters: Here they are!

I'm going to be making a few more than this tomorrow morning, but I am just pooped! I'll let you know how my *ART ATTACK* turns out. Get it? Remember Art Attack? Hahahaha.
Okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow!
Okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Oh my Gosh. Some people are so weird...
Okay, so I drew about six of these photos! And I placed six of them throughout "The Dungeon" - which is really a seating area in Kerr Hall that is dominated mainly by engineers and computer programmers. I think maybe they're the type of people that require the most cheering up. Haha, I'm kidding. :)
Anyway, I placed each of these photos on the seats and desks in The Dungeon, and sat with my friend in a corner, camera in hand... Waiting for people to walk past, and give me some juicy reaction.
First taker(s): Two boys. They glance down at my drawing of an edamame, which describes how your happiness levels increase when you are dancing. They look around, give out a laugh, but dang, they're too fast for my camera! I miss them.
Second taker: A young girl. She's been sitting with her boyfriend in a four-seater desk the whole time I've been here, and I'm sure she noticed me placing the sheets down and donning the camera. She gets up and walks past one of the desks with my drawing of the edamame. I manage to get a picture of her!
Third taker(s): A trio consisting of two girls and one boy. They sit right at the desk where my drawing is placed, and they don't seem to have noticed the drawing until they're all seated. I manage to catch their reactions after they look down!

| As you can tell, she is about to take another step, but is totally frozen in place by the awesomeness of my drawing. She looks at it and stays frozen in that position long enough for my camera to take its photo! Haha, silly. :) |

| The girl on the left gives me the best reaction - look at her holding in that laugh! |
That was exactly the reaction I was looking for!
Fourth taker: Okay, I kid you not, and you seriously don't have to believe me... But the fourth person to come across my drawings sits in the desk less than a metre away from me, which has a drawing of a pistachio, with the fact: "Exercise increases your happiness by 10-20%"
You know what he does with it? I kid you not, he uses it as rolling paper... Right beside me! He looks a little bit tough, and I am a little worried about taking a photo of him doing it, but I managed to snap a photo of him when his back is turned, just to show you guys how close this was happening:
The Art Word of the Week in relevance to this experience is "Space". In this activity, I used a very large space to scatter some of my art pieces around, and gather the reactions of various people. It would be a little harder to do this in a room that is tiny, because I'd have no place to hide, and there wouldn't be a never-ending source of random passers-by.

| Do you realize how close this was? I couldn't suppress my laughter very well! |
So yeah, I didn't get that drawing back... Oh well.
Well, I had mixed emotions about this assignment. I felt like a voyeur, but the reactions of some of my takers were just so funny! Would I do it again?
... Probably not. I mean hell, someone made my drawing into rolling paper!!!
