HAND SERIES

Students start with a drawing (tracing) of their hand. I know students have probably been doing this since they have been in pre-school, but that's one of the min reasons I choose this subject matter.

We start with a tracing of the outer edge of their hand (4H pencil) we will hold the pencil vertically to ensure an accurate shape. A portion of their wrist is part of the drawing.

next we will use a ruler to draw no less than 10 lines going from edge to edge being sure to change the placement and angle of the ruler each time to make sure we end up with a mixture of random geometric and organic shapes, as seen below.

COLOR- using markers students will color the shapes in the negative space in a Triadic or Primary color scheme. Positive space will be colored in a secondary color scheme.

Using a stippling effect with a black marker students will then add a some Value to the outline of the hand. Seen below.

This hand is the first in a series of 4.
