What is the difference between a Gesture and a Sign?
Gestures are limited set of actions for which everyone understands the meaning without being taught. People just learn by watching others.
Sign language is an all-purpose method of communication which must be learned.

Kitchen Drawers: first describe the cabinets set up and how the drawers are used.
Sombrero: first describe shape of the hat and then show how it is used.
