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.

What We Like About This Resource…

“I really like how Yu-Ching’s process combines hand-drawing and painting, before moving across to digital. Combining those processes ensures that the illustrations retain a very warm, tactile look to them, but the digital element refines the imagery. We really like what Yu-Ching says about the benefits of silent books being universally understood and feel that the benefits and challenges of not using words means that the imagery has to be really clear, which encourages lots of exciting creative problem-solving.” – Tobi, AccessArt
