Day One: Handmolds

We started off talking about how to see the space between our hands... the negative space. We imagined what can be held in that space... looking the lines that are seen around our knuckles and palm. The plaster was poured and then the hardest part.... waiting!
While the molds were drying in the sun, the artists drew the lines that they saw, imagining that they were little ants walking along the peaks and valleys.
After lunch we looked at the Negative Space that our molds captures and, again, looked and drew what we saw. These molds and line studies will be used later in the week as reference for printmaking and batik!

 They artists were invited to use some watercolor to add visual depth and highlight areas of texture.
