The appropriated image assignment challenged my class to use work created by other people, and use it to make our own.
I chose to change Iconic photos in a way that would remove the importance given by society.
Instead of the dead boy in the kent state shooting, you only see a screaming girl and confused - if not bored looking- spectators.
Instead of seeing an image of water fountains marked with signs of segregation, you just see a man taking a drink of water.
Instead of seeing a man stand up to a a militaristic machine, a small parade of tanks is shown strolling down the road.
What meaning do these images have now. without the key elements for which they were important in the first place?
