We started our day by watching a video. The only information I gave was that it was of the work of the artist, Tony Orrico. We agreed to watch from beginning to end quietly. It was, quite simply, wonderful.

I asked questions afterwards. We invested time exploring the variety of answers given – as to how each one might be possible and maybe even different alternatives possible at the same time.

Then we set to work, on a smaller scale, after Toni Orrico – hand drawing. We taped a drawing pencil to our forefinger and proceeded, using the thumb on that hand as the anchorage point. We experimented with a variety of hand movements and were interested to see what kind of marks were left behind on the paper. As our hands got tired the marks made reflected that too.

I gave instructions with each drawing as to how our hands should move.We wrote these instructions out at the bottom of the drawing.
