Compassion Saves

       The benefits of collaborating on art outweigh the challenges. To have a fully functioning group will almost never happen, so cooperation is an issue. On the other hand to have everyone's different artistic influence and ideas flowing into one project, it's great. I can relate our project to the thought that optimistic and pessimistic future unfold together. In our work a naturally pessimistic situation turned optimistic through another's compassion.

     The benefits of working together are that you can  have more vast ideas and end up with a more unique work or art. But with benefits there are challenges. A challenge is that not everyone will like you ides and there will be debate. I can relate William Kentridge's statement "the artist understands that the optimistic and the pessimistic future unfold together." I relate to this because the man sinking or falling apart is the pessimism but the friend being there to save him or help him through his hard time is the optimism. Pessimism can be turned to optimism through another's compassion.

        The benefits of collaborating  goes by the saying "two minds are better than one". Unless they are on two totally different pages. But all of the different minds could work to an advantage by trying to appease all types of viewers. Some of the challenges are that  none of the people gt along and then the project could go no where. I agree with Doris Salcedos view on art is an attempt to rescue a memory. I believe in this because every one wants to look at something they can relate to, so I feel an artist subconsciously draws or sculpts a memory. I think our project is a great representation because every single person has gone through something traumatic that puts them down, but through strength of yourself or another person you can bring yourself back up.
