what does it mean to be human?

Updated: May 28, 2020

Humanity.

by definition: Humanity is the human race, which includes everyone on Earth. It’s also a word for the qualities that make us human, such as the ability to love and have compassion, be creative, and not be a robot or alien. ... When people ask for money to help feed starving children, they’re appealing to your sense of humanity.

Influence & inspiration:


- in response to brief:

key words/phrases in relation to my own interests and themes:

the human form - anatomy, shape, form, biology.

fashion design & Art - colour, size, marketing.

print work - design, structure, material.

psychology - colour psychology, memetics, identity, the relationship between art, fashion and the human brain.

woodwork - sculpture, fabrics & fibres, metal work.

 

future development:


A combination of the human form, fashion and contemporary art. I will be exploring the links between them and creating a body of work that evaluates and challenges humanity and the question: what does it mean to be human?
