Dr. Dan suggested the following social practice artists whose art is really a process that changes the people around them:
Fritz Haeg "Edible Estates", Urban Camouflage artists like Liu Bolin, and also artists who use their art to transform social situations like Vik Muniz "Wasteland," Michael Swaine, and Oliver Herring. But check out JR and "Reverse Grafitti" artists like Paul "Moose" Curtis or Alexandre Orion for even more breadth in this area.
Here are some examples from the above artists:
Urban Camouflage
Project Wasteland by Vic Muniz
Reverse Graffiti
All of these social artists provide a great opportunity to talk about how important the process can be in art.
