Draw each other's hand

You'll need: paper and two pencils.

  1. Sit facing each other. Each person puts one hand on the table.
  2. Draw the other person's hand without looking at your paper, slowly, for one minute.
  3. Swap the drawings and look at them together. Strange is good.
  4. Do it once more, looking this time, and lay all four side by side.
