The "other" Illusional/Delusional Hand Art Project- 3rd grade

My daughter's 3rd grade class had the option between the previous post, illusional hand & line art project or this one shown below (one of my favorites, Art Project for Kids.) 

So here's my optical illusion hand art model... and you should see what they came up with! I love how they are all so remarkably different, even if they tried to copy each other.

The instructions are simple:

• trace your hand or hands with pencil however you like on paper
• draw a bull's eye that covers the entire page
• color each "ring"/circle with only 2 "contrasting" colors (using a color for the hand and the other color for outside of the hand) 

(8 -9 years old)

I absolutely loved how some of the kids got a little distracted and morphed their hands into some of the circles...

Not one is the same, they all came up with a different style and perspective on the hand project... Love it.

One last item: with this hand project, you can document their hand size and age and throw it in your memory book!

Illusional-Delusional Hand Art - 3rd Grade

I found this easy little hand art project on theforestroom last week and thought it would be a clean and a simple project to do in my daughter's 3rd grade class... Well, it's not as easy as it looks- they had to really concentrate to complete. 

This is a really clever way to also document your child's hand size/age.

My lines were not the straightest!

Simple Instructions:

• With a pencil, trace your hand & fingers perpendicular (or exactly vertical) to the paper.
• Start at the top of the paper drawing straight lines horizontally, and repeat (any colors or all one color).
• When your lines touch your fingers or hand, make an arch and come down at the other side of finger or hand (refer to below).

The results were so varied from kid to kid, it's amazing! I think all of them did awesome! I wasn't able to post all of their hand projects.
