psychiatrist and are applying for a 3 million dollar career. Instead of an interview the
company sets you with a patient that has a very distinct behavior. The word you have
been given is the patients personality. The company has asked you to draw an abstract
image of this persons behavior. You are to create a mono print using the given materials
for your art work that will be analyzed by the companys hiring agent.
