Module Nine - Art Making/Material Exploration Drawings - Exploring Line

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

I found it very difficult because I am an awful artist, especially when it comes to drawing.

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

I chose pencil because charcoal was far too messy and I am not skilled enough with it to make anything legible.

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

It was much harder to draw my right hand with my left hand than vice versa.

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

Successful in that a person would be able to tell that they are supposed to be hands on first glance, not successful in that they are very terrible.

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

Not at all. I have enough of a handicap when it comes to art to not create artificial ones.
