Happiness 101 ideas

Happiness 101 is an interesting article, which focuses on a new course that is being introduced to certain colleges/universities. I developed a few ideas of how to approach the photo shoot for this article. One of my ideas uses a simple documented photograph, which has a student writing or checking the assignments for happiness 101. The assignments on the list are geared towards self enlightenment by going and doing good deeds, whether the deeds are good to self or to others is irrelevant, since Happiness 101 is a class that is geared towards personal growth and happiness. I would like to have a behind the subject view, where the photographer will take a photo from behind the subject and focus onto the notepad where the 'student' is checking off his list of good deeds. I would also like the shot to be somewhat bright and lighthearted, so that Happiness is subliminally incorporated into the photograph. Hope this ideas works. My other idea for this assignment is to take a photograph of a student in a cross legged yoga sitting position. The student will not have any objects around, besides some classroom furnishing, or maybe the student will be on top of a desk, sitting cross legged. There is more to this idea, than having a student cross legged. To make this photograph interesting, a few photographs will be compiled together. Basically the student will be sitting cross legged with eyes closed and random 'good deeds' floating around the students head. The random good deeds symbolize the students thinking about the next good deed that needs to be accomplished.
