- The experience of finger painting was very good. Also, it let students do some freestyle of which direction that they want paint to go to as well as how to execute their finger painting. Kinda challenging at the same time.
2. I expected the finger painting to be easy; however, due to the fact that I was on a budget and went to DAISO for cheap watercolor paining and for other supplies, the watercolor did not last that long, so I tried to create my SONIC logo from work and it took a lots of watercolor painting (tedious) and kept repeating the process: which is to create watercolor paint, and draw with your fingers, until it looked like my work logo.
3. Making a painting with no content was both exciting and frustrating. The reason why my painting had no direct content was because I drew random dashes and patterns along with my work logo which viewers could say “what does this mean” and to the author like me for example: It could mean a decent amount is to me is because I get to experience finger painting to see how it was like for me as well as to see what skill I need to develop to have better finger painting. I learned that maybe for a professional finger painting, I would need to spend more money into it. And I learned that watercolor painting may not be the best quality for finger painting; yet should use thicker paint next time. Knowing that it is just for an activity, I chose to be on a budget.
4. To compare other paintings I have seen versus my finger painting, I immediately see a huge difference on why their paintings look significantly better than mine. The first reason is due to the fact that they used a paintbrush while we can only use our fingers. Second reason is that the quality of their color paints is significantly better than my work. Well, we get what we pay for and how much time we spend right? Well, in most cases, that’s correct!
