--The human condition encompasses the unique features of being human. It can be described as the irreducible part of humanity that is inherent and innate to human beings and not dependent on factors such as gender, race or class. It includes concerns such as the meaning of life, the search for gratification, the sense of curiosity, the inevitability of isolation, or awareness regarding the inescapability of death. ~COLLAGED BACKGROUND
Collage book pages, newspaper, decorative papers, maps, sheet music, junk mail, phonebook pages, cardboard etc. Keep the arrangement organized and use a maximum of 12 pieces of paper. They may be all different kinds of paper or all the same. Use matte medium to glue down.
~DRAWING - Draw your figure so it fills at least ¾ of the picture plane. It can go off the edges. Use black media only and use a reference photo. You can use contour line or make it fully shaded. The term human “figure” can be applied loosely. You do not have to draw the face or include the entire body. Get compositions approved first. ~COLOR Add a small amount of color to provide interest and emphasis. This may be a blush of faded color in the background or creatively placed threads dangling off the edges. Be creative with this step BUT make sure the color does not distract too much from the drawn figure which should remain you main focal point.
