I analyzed three songs about drug addiction. I used "Overdose" by Macklemore, "Sober" by Demi Lovato, and "Semi-Charmed Life" By Third Eye Blind. I annotated each song and answered the SOAPSTone questions. I researched the songs and listened to each of them individually and focused on the meanings. I also researched the artists an I found their individual stories about each song and it told me about their addiction and how they regret making these decisions. The stories also helped me with understanding the artists perspective on their life and how they view drug addiction.
History
I made Social Media posts about this one South American drug named Ayahuasca. It was a very interesting drug to do research on. I made four tweets from twitter about the drug and I made three instagram posts about it also. I looked into how Ayahuasca affected people and the outcome of the drug. I created multiple social media accounts and gave the impression of me trying to get people to try the drug by giving them advice on it and telling them what would be the affects of the drug. The posts shows my perspective of the drug.
Art
I looked into an artist and how he used drugs to influence his art pieces. Bryan Lewis Saunders had a reason to take a different drug everyday. Saunders wanted to know how the drugs changed his perception of himself. Saunders used a different drug everyday and painted a self portrait of himself on the substance. Bryan Lewis Saunders participated in taking a different drug each day and creating a self-portrait. The painting on the left is the result of Bryan taking 10mg Adderall and the painting on the right is of Bryan taking 100mg Trazadone.
