  4. Visual Metaphor OBJECTIVES • Draw the contour lines of your hand spelling a word in ASL. • Create a drawing that is a visual metaphor for this word. • Use emphasis to arrange your composition of the hands spelling the word with its visual metaphor. • Use craftsmanship.

  5. Planning your Composition Vocabulary Composition: the way an artist arranges a work of art Thumbnail: a quick sketch by an artist meant to work out a general composition for a work of art (like an outline for an essay in language arts) Picture Plane: the surface area on which you draw or paint. Directions: • Draw three boxes in your sketchbook. (Each box will be a separate picture plane.) • In each box, draw a thumbnail composition for your idea. Your compositional arrangements must be interesting and fill each picture plane/box. We will choose the best from your three ideas.
