Faking It!

I think the show faking it is really interesting. It is cool that a painter from the country was given the opportunity to express himself through art. He was given a chance to learn about the many aspects of art and apply them. He was also awarded the opportunity to look inside himself, to take time to read and get to know who he is. Watching him live out something he always dreamed he could accomplish inspires me.

I think the show is more real than many reality shows that I have seen. It is more creative and has a point. I like that the focus of the show is on a journey and that the people involved are real. The main character is honest about art at the very beginning and gives his opinion, but he also emphasises his desire to learn.

It is hard to say what the outcome of his journey will be because his art is different, but some art that is strange is also widely liked and accepted in the art community. I think that he has developed along the way and his final products will be quite good.

Overall, I think that the final decision made by the three judges will be 2 yes and 1 no.

  1. Paul’s, the “fake” artist, intense desire to learn about art and how to make it stood out in my mind. I’m wondering if he had to apply to be on the show and if that is the case, is the show really more real than other reality television shows?
