         I really enjoyed Liv’s presentation. She took her project in a completely different direction than I took mine and that was cool to see. Her presentation was super personal and I appreciated that and I was very intrigued throughout her presentation. I liked that instead of picking one picture and encountering it, she took a belief and used pictures to enhance it. Her mode of communication was an essay with photos. Her essay alone was interesting and heartwarming and captured my attention, but her different photos of artwork at Children’s Hospital in Boston, or of her friend and other patients was what enhanced her essay even further. Seeing the pictures of Liv and her friend made the whole presentation even more personal and real, which made it even more inspiring. I would not say it gave me a fresh perspective, but furthered my previous perspective. I had noticed and stated how important art is in places like hospitals due to the positive energy it can bring to patients, their families, and staff members. Liv’s example of Children’s Hospital was a perfect one that furthered my belief in the ability of art to create positive uplifting energy. Liv’s presentation, found here, was inspiring, intriguing, personal, and had an important point of view, that should be shared
