Hand - Science

This blog post will be about a human hand and how it works and everything that is in the hand. 

The hand is made up of 6 things

- Tendons

- Joints

- Bones

- Ligaments 

- Muscles 

- Cartilage 

In your fingers there are bones, joints, cartilage, ligaments and tendons running down your fingers. 

Muscles are not located in your fingers . 

Tendons: Tendons are like the thread they start a the top of the finger and wrap around a bone, they go through your fingers to your forearm. 

Joints: The joints in the fingers are where the bones meet and allow the bones to move smoothly. They are in between each bone.

Bones: There are 3 bones in each fingers but 2 bones in the thumb, there are also bones in the palm for each fingers. The bones of the hand provide flexibility. 

Ligaments: Ligaments are tough pieces of connective tissue that join one bone to another, they are attached to either side of joint.

Muscles: The muscles are not located in the finger but in our forearm, the tendons attach to the muscles. 

Cartilage: The cartilage is inside of the joints, it stops the bones from rubbing together.

Hannah Hoch Montage - Art

For art this term we have been focusing on montages, we researched Hannah Hoch and got inspiration from her artwork. Hannah mixes together different photographs to create one big montage, I really like her art because it isn't like other types of art pieces. 

Here is what I got in the end, I mixed together a mannequin with a ladies eyes and then I put doves surrounding her. I wanted to go for a  neutral colour theme and I'm happy with how it turned out :)
