Just below the two bones (which is not the most comfortable).

 As i begin to explore the idea of the "anatomy of art" i discovered that art is inside us all. Whether we express this art through sports, music, painting, collecting, creating, or even through destroying, they are all forms of expressing a feeling that is already inside you.

I started this project with a collage of mixing different figures i found from a science book, and anatomy sketches from the book "Grey's anatomy"

 

The collage was looking very strong, so i put a piece of plastic laminate over it to calm it down, and then used mounting pads to put on a diagram of a heart, with a drawing of a black sheep man on it. i wrote the words "already inside you" on a banner that borders the heart.

In my first attempt to mount the laminate i realized that it wasn't going to work as i had originally planned. So i had to fix the layering of my piece by taking away some of the mounts.


Although in my plan this was all i wanted to do, i realized that this wasn't done yet. I wasn't exactly sure how to fix it, so i decided to "frame" the piece by layering different characters, and by flowing a banner throughout the piece, and having it go through the heart.

And here is the final:
