Connor Wackerman, Humpty Dumpty Project

Humpty Dumpty Story Project

For this project my drawing will be based off the story of Humpty Dumpty. I selected Humpty Dumpty because of the nostalgia it holds in my life and the metaphor included in the story is applicable to infinite things in our life. The change in the story I will be representing through my art is that instead of Humpty Dumpty falling to the ground and being helped by horses and men, there is just a cracked egg next to a wall. It is supposed to represent what would actually happen if an egg fell off a wall. I want to make the egg look very deserted and lonely because the egg did not get the help that was expected. If you fall off a wall, sometimes no one will be there to help you, and in a simplistic and minimalistic way, that is what I want my work to demonstrate. The view, with the cracked egg laying in the grass as the centerpiece, will be at such an angle that it will look like the egg had just fallen from the tall wall that lies near it.
