Yeah, who knew? Thanks for the thoughts, Be...Wow! Yeah, who knew? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the thoughts, Beth. I definitely don't agree with all the "psychology" surrounding how children learn, but I suppose a few of these theories are based on evidence. Sometimes people use drawing "tricks" to save time, but I suppose it would depend on how the artist thinks. Some people would draw a hand turkey for the rest of their lives if taught to do so but others would be more creative. Then of course a person could draw a hand turkey and change it in a way to still be creative.<BR/><BR/>As far as "hand art," I have used a hand collage in which students draw overlapping hands to show how colors create new colors when they are mixed. I have seen hand wreathes and hand rainbows. This is different because these images are hands being hands and nothing else.<BR/><BR/>Either way, this has been a fun joke with my colleagues! <BR/><BR/>By the way, is your mom an artist? <BR/><BR/>Do you draw houses now?Amanda A Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248389839412838069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504097131889784139.post-79933575398054277522009-03-31T12:57:00.000-04:002009-03-31T12:57:00.000-04:00Oh, but hand turkeys are a favorite childhood memo...Oh, but hand turkeys are a favorite childhood memory! :) <BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just more stubborn than most people (leaving myself way open on that one, aren't I?) but if I wanted to draw a turkey now I would not draw a hand turkey. I think even as kids we were aware that the hand turkey was a stylized image of a turkey...just a neat trick to approximate a symbolic turkey.<BR/><BR/>I remember making "m birds" in the sky, too. I think my mom taught me that one, but she also taught me how to place the horizon and bring the land up to meet the sky. Oh, she also showed me how to use diagonals to create the sides of house...I had a fixation with drawing houses when I was very young. :)<BR/><BR/>Or maybe the turkey thing was merely symbolic to my peers and me because we lived in the agrarian Midwest?? I don't remember seeing real turkeys as a child, though, although there were pheasants in the woods. <BR/><BR/>Hmmm...who knew I even had an opinion about hand turkeys??Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734326566763419375noreply@blogger.com
