When Completing the sketchbook assignments please try your best and take your time on the drawing. 

• Draw a series of 5 hands from observation in different positions using clean, consistent contour line.
• Hands may be sketched lightly in pencil first. Draw lightly and allow your marks to be loose at this stage. Move your arm and shoulder when sketching instead of your wrist and fingers, as you have a higher range of motion and control this way. Make sure you are constantly referencing back to your model and drawing from observation!
• Finish your drawing by tracing over your pencil sketch in black ink using clean, consistent contour line. Erase all pencil lines upon completion!
• Fit all 5 Hands on one page. Vary the scale and position of each drawing to fit all five hands on one sketchbook page or spread.

1. "Change" - Everything changes. It’s a natural law that objects, people, and situations are impermanent and are always in a state of flux and change. At times, change is lightning quick and takes place in a flash. Other times, change is as slow as continental drift and seems to not be happening at all. How do you react to change in your life? How have you changed over the course of your life? Do you anticipate change and actively participate in the changing world and your changing self? Or do you deny change and passively ride along as things change around you? How open or closed are you to change?
