Gia, This sketch shows your ability to use several marks to define the multiple shapes and parts of a hand. Using a photograph of posing hand along with MC Eschers drawing, sketch a new version of this hand. Make your marks light and short like as tiny as an ant or dashed line. Keep looking closely at the folds of skin for detail for perhaps where shading could inform the detail rather than line.

Lesson 2
Take a photo of your hand or someone elses facing down or up.  Watch the Closer Look Video and check out this image to assist in getting started.  Notice how the finished drawing in middle uses many little marks to create the natural shapes.  Notice how the red finger tips emphasize the shape needed for detail.

Lesson 3
The hands in this lesson are created by a collection of expressive lines and color. Using the skills established at this point of careful observation, relax your drawing hand to trust and use the quick gestural marks that collectively create the contour lines of a hand. Notice the cool colors are applied in the flesh under and inbetween. Notice the bright and light colors bring out the motion of gripping and bending. Create 2 or 3 hands using expressive line and color.

Apply the skils you learned and used in Lesson 3 to the foot. Explore this Seattle exhibit Feet in Art. You will see a variety of artists interpreting feet in art. Check out how Leonardo Pereznieto uses two circles and a triangle in a variety of positions to produce the foot sketches in this video.  Sketch 2 or 3 feet in different positions.

The Creation of Adam, in the fresco by Michaelangelo illustrating God giving life to Adam,  earths first man is likely the most significant image that impressed posterity.  Hands have an infinite number of abilities and complexities in their power and presence within the figure.  Consider the hands as the focal point of a portrait that could send a message during this vulnerable, enlightening and empowering time for all.
Possible themes:
1. Wash your hands.
2. Do not touch your face
3. Trying something new.
4. Hands caring for a pet or person.
5. Hands in nature
