- On a blank sheet in your sketchbook:
1. Compare and contrast the different ways hands are portrayed in art, throughout history. Use detailed examples to support your work.
2. Describe in detail, two ways hands can communicate in art works.
Part 2:
Blind Contour Drawing
-On the same sheet of sketchbook seperate the page into two columns.
-Draw an image without looking at your page. Attempting to understand the movement of lines within a work of art.
-Draw the image again; this time with your opposite hand.
In your opinion, what does it means to “draw what you see, not what you think you see?”

Think about hands as shapes.
How would you break the components of a hand into different shapes?
- Create a drawing of hands, as though they are holding another hand or object. This will symbolize unity; something which ties us together as human beings.

Now draw what you SEE, not what you THINK you see.
Step Five:
Re-creating Value By Practicing Pen and Ink Techniques.
Brad Albright:
Before You Put Your Pen and Ink Designs In Action, Practice Various Techniques in Pen.
Re-create this sketch by Brad Albright into your sketchbook, be sure to label your work, and practice each technique.
Re-create this sketch by Brad Albright into your sketchbook, be sure to label your work, and practice each technique.
Refer to your worksheet. What is value?
Value is a fancy word for shading something in. With value, you are creating the illusion of light in your drawing using different highlights and shadows.
Use pen and ink to create value and texture in your lines of your hand.

Part Six:
Adding Texture:
- Using your sketch of the hands, create various backgrounds that have to do with the patterns you see in nature.
Negative Space- areas of space between and around the object or subject within an art piece
- Divide the areas of negative space into a minimum of three sections.
- Begin to add three different shading techniques and textures with pen and ink to your drawing.
- Add your techniques in pencil, lightly, first. Be sure to present your work NEATLY.

Ask Yourself:
Do my textures and patterns of nature have contrast? Are the patterns and textures created, fluid? Do they bring the principle of balance to your composition?
Do your texture choices make sense, with the meaning of your work?
Part Seven:
- Collect different textiles (from magazines, online, newspaper, fabric, etc...)
Arrange your chosen textiles into collage, which will go around your hands drawing.
Add a minimum of three textiles to your composition.
*Keep in mind: CONTRAST, VARIETY AND FLUIDITY.
Contrast:
The difference between colour and light within parts of an image.
Variety:
The usage of different images, techiques and ideas which can be placed together into one image. If the use of variety is done correctly, the artist should be able to create a balanced composition, in order for the work to make sense.
Fluidity:
Fluidity refers to a continuous movement within a piece of art to create a sense of balance throughout the composition. A sense of flow.
Part Eight:
- Paste your completed hand drawing into the centre of your textiles collage.
- Extend the lines from your hand drawing into the collage of textiles surrounding, where necessary.
This will create unity.
Unity:
Unity will be established when all of the elements in a work of art are combined to create a balanced, harmonious and complete, whole work.
Define UNITY in your own words.
How does your work of art show unity? Explain using examples and details.
Be sure to put your name on your work and touch up any elements of your work.
Hand in your work!
