1.What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
Using my own hand for this drawing was very interesting. It was odd how much I did not actually know the details of my hand until trying to draw it in proportion and with needed details. It did make drawing a bit harder because even with the dominant hand I was only using one hand.
2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?
I selected a pencil because I thought I would have more control and precision than with charcoal . I had a difficult time with the shading activity used for gradient.
3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?
It was very awkward and I had much less control. The non dominant hand allowed me even less artistic ability.
4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
I feel like doing the drawings did accomplish a purpose for me. As a non artist, it was a huge challenge and although it may not look it the drawings did take time and concentration. It definitely gave me a greater appreciation for the talent of artists such as Michaelangelo that master the drawing of the human body.
5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future? No. I felt much less capable of working with this hand and would not prefer to create with this hand.
