3-D Hand Art

Super cool 3-D hand project.  This is a great one for teens.  It is sure to surprise!  It's an optical illusion and once completed if you stare at it from a distance it can play tricks on your mind.  

You will Need:

1. white paper
2. crayons, markers, chalk, or coloring pencils
3. sharpie

Directions:

1. First, they will trace their hand and arm.
2. Next, they will take a ruler and lightly draw horizontal lines about 1/2 inch straight across from the left side of the paper to the hand/arm drawn.  Repeat from the other side of the hand you drew and go to the end of the right side of the paper.  It's best to work your way from the bottom up.
3. Then you will start connecting the two lines drawn from one end to the other from inside the traced hand/arm.  You will need to curve these lines to create the 3-D look.
4. The next to last step, you will color the stripes with different colors to complete your masterpiece.
5. Finally you will take a sharpie or dark color marker and re-trace where all the pencil lines are 
6. to create your 3-D image.  And you are done!
