hands

this month we experimented with plaster.

and our hands. and little gestures.

the results are beautiful and interesting but the process

was even better. the kids liked the sensation of having the

plaster wrapped around their fingers and then hardening.

like a cast. it is a cast. then it is a piece of art, made out of

themselves, their growing hands that can create such amazing work.

we talked about hands in Art, in the history of Art.

And we ended up painting the hands based on inspired Mendhi

designs, beginning with a mandala in the palm.
