Wk 2 – art experience – abstract finger painting

I must say, I was not looking forward to getting my fingers dirty with paint and making a giant mess I would later need to clean up. But that being said, I surprisingly loved the experience. I listened to lofi music with no lyrics, and just let my mind wander. I only bought the primary colors, so I could make any color I wanted, and I really enjoyed messing around with the color mixtures and swirling my own colors. It was more difficult than I thought because the colors meshed so easily making a dark blob on the page, but it was an incredibly liberating feeling where I just let my mind create whatever shapes and textures and colors it wanted. Other paintings I’ve seen, especially abstract paintings, failed to move me. I enjoy creating art as opposed to observing it, unless it’s simply impressive in the skill the piece demonstrates. This was surprisingly fun, and I will definitely do it again recreationally.
