Task
You will need pens or pencils and very large sheets of paper.
Work in pairs or small groups to draw a hand enlarged as much as The Guardian’s.
- Put a hand flat on a piece of paper and draw a line tightly around it.
- Carefully measure the width of the hand and the length to the tip of each finger.
- Multiply all your measurements by 7.
- Using your measurements to help you, draw the hand 7 times bigger.
You could try measuring and drawing other objects at 7:1, for example a book, a pencil or a mobile phone.
