Four Finger Affirmation

Studio Project #1: Four Finger Affirmation

  • use your sketchbook to trace or contour draw your non-drawing hand

  • develop a positive affirmation of four words, one word for each digit of your hand; start with your index finger

  • experiment with colour, line, shape, space, etc. to incorporate design elements into your hand and the background that tell your story; consider both realistic and abstract options

  • your final composition will be completed on standard 8.5" x 11" paper; the hand will be cut-out for presentation then fully labelled on the back
