‘Hand Portraits’
What does British Sign Language mean to you? Why are your hands important?
Use your phone to capture images of hands maybe signing or doing things during the day or anything linked to BSL.
Maybe specific hand placement, signing hand-shape or in abstract style?
The choice is yours.

‘One-line sketch’
I want you to draw a visual representation of your sign-name - but it needs to be a one-line drawing. So your pen/pencil cannot leave the paper. I want it to be as visual as possible and avoid any written English - all visual!
I will show how I draw my sign-name.
Please take a photo & share
