Foundation Drawing / Sherry Simms
Hand/Still Life Assignment

This still life drawing project explores the interplay of light and shadow through the subtle presence of hands. The hands, positioned delicately within the composition, do not interact with the objects but serve as focal points for studying light effects on various textures and surfaces. The soft curves of the hands cast shadows, creating a dynamic contrast with the still life elements, which include everyday objects that vary in material and form. The drawing focuses on how light interacts with skin, glass, metal, and fabric, emphasizing the atmospheric qualities of illumination and shadow.
