Art Making/Material Exploration: Exploring Line

Drawn using dominant hand

 

Drawn using non dominant hand

 

It was different using my hand as the subject manner because I never really have.  I did think it was fun though using my hand as the subject of my drawing.

 

I used pencil for my drawing because it was less messy.  I also used it in case i needed to erase at all it would be easier.

 

It was a little bit difficult to create a drawing with my non dominant hand.  It definitely did not turn out to be what I wanted it to be.  My left hand just doesn't work the same as my right.  It kind of felt funny trying to draw with my left hand.

 

My final drawings are kind of similar.  The difference is the drawing that I used my dominant hand for looks neater and is more defined where the drawing with my non dominant hand looks shaky and not as neat.  I do think this was a successful study.  It portrayed the difference between using a dominant and non dominant hand in a drawing.  The results appear quite obvious from the drawings above.

 

I would not consider using my non dominant hand in the future to create artwork.  I won't because it was difficult to use my left hand to draw and it was hard to control the look of my drawing.  Therefore I will not be using my non dominant hand any time soon to create artwork.
