Hands
Whether we realise it or not we use our hands everyday to help communicate and express ourselves. In this project you will be investigating how photographers have used hands as the subject of different photographs. You will then interpret this theme to develop your own series of images around the subject of 'Hands'.
The following photographers and images could be a good starting point for your research:

Moodboard
You now need to create a new section on your 'Hands' page called 'Moodboard'. Collect at least 20 images of hands that you find interesting and ideas you might like to try. Upload them to your page.
Primary Research
For this section you need to experiment by taking photos of hands, these can be friends or family members. Try a variety of different hand poses, locations and tasks that the hands might be performing. We do this to help us explore the theme and generate ideas. We are not concerned about the quality of these images at this time we are simply exploring the subject and gathering ideas with our camera.
Planning
Explain what your ideas are and produce paper plans and upload them. You will need to evaluate these and record any observations.
