    Cartoon Hands

    This exercise gives students experience drawing hands in many different positions. It also builds skill in reproducing drawings.

    A short demonstration on cartoon hand construction is given by the teacher. Students are then given a paper with over 50 cartoon hands on it. They must reproduce at least 40 of them on their paper. A nice clean layout is strongly recommended as well.

    Evaluation:
    2 point -- Complete (40 hands)
    4 points -- Neatness of finished project
    4 points -- Accuracy
    10 points total
