4 5 6

From the construction of a scale using as unit of measurement the length of our hands and its subdivisions, we reconstructed a drawing on scale of the human body regaining the notions of proportion and symmetry.

  1. We remembered the human figures – next to its respective model – drawn in the second session
  2. With help of a strip of paper, we toke the measure of our own hands and we marked it on our scale
  3. We divided the strip of paper to defined the measures of half a hand, a forth of a hand and a eighth of a hand.
  4. In a piece of paper with the measure of eighth hand, we draw a grid like the one we drew on the drawing of our human body
  5. We redraw our characters on scale regaining the notions of symmetry and proportion from the human body.
  6. The SCALES in hand, half a hand, a forth of a hand and an eighth of a hand.
