Hands

Project 5: Expressive Hands

For this project, you will create 2 images that investigate the expressive nature of hands: 

• One black and white study

• One color study

YES!

Studio light

​Natural light

Meaningful background or neutral background

​Interesting textures

Get creative with paint

​Consider the body language of the hand

NO!

Fluorescent light

ANY overhead light, actually

Distracting background

Fancy nails (unless conceptually incorporated)

Use the hands as merely a canvas for the paint

Fingers spread out ("hand turkey") or inappropriate hand gestures (if you have to ask, it probably isn't appropriate)
