Art 8 is finally done with their Symbolic Hand Drawings! They did SUCH A GREAT JOB! As part of our pre-assessment for the year, students were asked to do a study of their hand. A lot of students traced their hand and/or struggled with drawing hands. I thought tackling a difficult task would be a great way to boost these young artists self-esteem! Once they realized they could do it, and compared the before and after, I think they realized that there is a lot to learn this year in Art, and that they will all benefit from improving their observational drawing skills!
Just check out these amazing drawings! Students drew their hands holding a personal object they brought from home. By drawing something personal, they have included some information about themselves and are challenging the viewer to engage in a visual conversation with their artwork.
Students also had the option to create a digital version by scanning their drawings into Adobe Photoshop CS2. We got some pretty creative results!
