Module 9- Dominant vs. Non-Dominant

1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
Using my hand as a subject matter was like being a kid all over again. However, it was a more advanced step. Because I had to make sure I add the small details that my hands have on them. It was also stressful because the number of details I had on my hand was not able to come out like how it was on my hand.

2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?
I used a pencil because charcoal is kind of messy. I also used a pencil because charcoal sticks cause a lot of smudging. A pencil is also the easiest media to use. 

3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?
It was difficult because it is not my dominant hand. It takes a lot of effort to hold the pencil properly. Also, it is a lot harder to do certain movements with a pencil, such as drawing a straight line. 

4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
I feel that one is more successful than the other. I feel as though my dominant hand had more of a success because its the hand that I have the most control over. On the other hand, I have less control over my non-dominant hand. However, my non-dominant hand drawing was not as bad as I thought it will be. 

5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?
No, I would not use my non-dominant hand to create artwork because I do not feel like it would be as neat as I want it to be.
