Art Making/Material Exploration: Exploring Line

1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?

I enjoyed using my hands as the subject matter for this drawing. It was kind of hard because I had to really pay attention to the way my hands were shaped.

2.  What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?

I chose to use pencil because it was easier to control, made cleaner lines, and was less messy.

3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?

It was considerably harder to draw with my left hand rather than my right. I had less control of line movements and my drawing was less steady.

4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?

I think my drawing of my left hand by my right hand (non-dominant drawn by dominant) ended up pretty successful. My other drawing, drawn with my left hand, was not as successful, but it is still recognizable as a hand.

5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?

Probably not, it is too difficult to control my movements.
