Normally, I am not really into painting because I don’t think I am creative. However, painting with my fingers felt really fun. The way that my fingers moved on the paper while they were wet with paint felt nice and the way they moved was so smooth and flowing I felt free. Initially, I thought that I wasn’t going to like this because I’m really not into painting, however, it felt almost relaxing and helped me focus my thoughts and pour out my feelings onto the paper. I did not expect to like it as much as I did. I had fun. It was a bit confusing at first because I wasn’t sure what to do with my fingers. I find it much easier to paint with an intention or something in mind because it becomes easier to piece together a message and convey it in a certain way. Although it was confusing, it was liberating, because I had fun doing the blob I did. I divided the paper into four different parts, where I used different colors. This compares to other paintings in the way the artist felt. I can tell from finger painting it felt very liberating and I can only imagine how good and happy and free the artists felt as they expressed themselves the way they wanted. I sat outside on the floor and just felt relaxed as the wind sorta influenced me and I just started moving my fingers. No thinking just moving. And in the end the image above was the result. To me, this abstract art can mean different views of the world. Very bright and beautiful but then there is the ugly. However, this finger painting can mean something completely different to someone else since I made it with no intended message.
