Drawing With Two Hands

By Joe Gamble

This experimental drawing activity is formed of 8 drawing exercises, all focused on drawing using both the dominant and non-dominant hand, challenging learners to explore dexterity and control (or lack thereof).

These exercises can be split up to form part of a longer session, or they can be used individually as warm-ups.

Learners will explore how both hands and drawing materials interact with each other to create fluid and rich drawings that challenge preconceptions of what makes a ‘good’ drawing.

The video is appropriate for viewers aged 14 and over, but can be used in a guided session with younger learners.
