Creative Expression

1. What type of art could you study to help improve your understanding of your senior project topic?
     I think studying the work of organizations like PETA will help me a lot not only with  my senior project but especially with my creative expression presentation. I plan to study their various campaigns against animal cruelty like their "Bare Skin" ads etc.
2. Ideas.
     I am not sure yet but I am thinking of doing something digital photography wise or perhaps a painting or drawings because those are my strongest points.

The Product

As of March, what is your product and why?
     Through my nearly 100 hours of service learning and extensive research of laws and cases pertaining to animal cruelty I have decided to not only pursue my BA in business administration and accounting but another 2 to 3 years in law school to get my degree so that I can use that to help people AND animals as well. I have realized how much animals need are help in the legal area and have decided that my passion would be to help them in any way I can.
