Braun uses her finger tips to create drawings she calls "fingerings".
This artist was a good introduction to what we would be doing. Justin and Victoria
gave a demo on ways to draw with our finger tips. They also had us line up next to a line with a peer on the opposite side of the line. One side of the line was asked to make a gesture and the other side to mimic the gesture. Victoria and Justin then explained how they just created symmetry. I found this was a great way to get the class excited and involved in the lesson. I definitely will try using this activity in a future lesson. Then we received a piece of black paper, white paper, chalk and black graphite. We we asked to draw on one piece of paper then mimic the drawing on the other to create a symmetrical piece of artwork. One problem I found was that I naturally wanted to use both my hands but I tried to refrain from doing that because we were told not to. I think it would have been a richer learning experience if we were encourage to try both ways. Overall such a great lesson. It was lots of fun and plenty of opportunities for experimenting with materials and artistic growth.
