1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
I see my hands
every day but I found I did not realize the detail of the shadows and
lines. This became apparent when I began
to draw them. I tried to break them down
into shapes and lines. This helped me
make my proportions as accurate as possible.
2. What media did you select - pencil or
charcoal? Why?
I selected pencil
for this project. Pencil was a good fit
for me because I typically use pencil when I draw something. It is something I am familiar with and I knew
it would help when I had to use my non-dominant hand to draw.
3. How did it feel to create a drawing
with your non-dominant hand?
It was very
hard. I could not control the pencil
well. My mind knew what I wanted to draw
but the dexterity and muscle control in my non-dominant hand made it
difficult. I could not draw a smooth
straight line as well as my dominant hand could.
4. Compare and contrast your final
drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
Yes, they are
successful studies. Both drawings are
accurate examples of the respective hands.
The non-dominant drawing took more time because I had to concentrate on
each and every line I made. The lines
had to be smaller as well. I actually
made it with strokes of the pencil rather than long lines. The end result for both drawings is they are
accurate drawings of my hands.
5. Would you consider using your
non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?
No, I would not use my
non-dominant hand. I would not want to
deal with the errors I make while using this hand. The quality of the art would be
compromised. The end result would not be
exactly what my vision was but a result of poor coordination and the inability
to control my muscles well.
