The experience was very liberating and enjoyable! I found myself constantly getting asked “what are you painting?” and I would let the person decide what they thought it was. The popular answer was fire, earth, and water. But, I really did not have anything in mind and it was interesting to see others piece their own thoughts together.
It was a very different experience! I have never finger painted or painted without any subject in mind. I especially loved mixing the different colors together! Although I only had a few different paints, I was able to make many a range of shades, which I particularly enjoyed. I played around with the pressure I was putting on the paint and started using more of my hand to paint in the end.
It was more liberating and inspiring. I find myself overthinking for a majority of my day, so it felt good to not have to worry about the outcome of this painting. It turned out a lot better than I had expected while I was in the process making the painting. It taught me to be more confident in myself, even when I feel like I do not know what I am doing or how the result will play out.
Other paintings definitely appear to have more skill in my eyes. There is a lot of aspects of art that I may not understand and wish that I did. But, as long as I am enjoying making my own art, I am content with simply having fun during the process!

I agree that this project was liberating in the sense that you didn’t have to focus on a particular shape or image, but instead just whatever your hands felt were right in that moment. I see what the others felt when looking at your painting as well because of the pallet that you chose to use. It seems to tell a story of fire, water, earth, and air colliding with each other and fighting for dominance.

I agree with you that this experience was liberating. We as college students tend to be so caught up in overthinking that we don’t have time to just go with the flow. I feel that due to the specific color pallet that you chose, then I can see the vision that those viewing it thought as well. I personally see fire, earth, water, and air colliding together in a fight for dominance. Your input on this project was insightful and appreciated.
