Hello! With the thumb print of mine, I wanted to talk more about my identity. What I tried to communicate in this art piece is for you to get to know me a little bit more. I got really interested on this assignment because i got to write a story in the shape of my thumb print and I got to use water colour for the back background. Personally I love water colour. This project has personal meaning to me because it talks about me and my life styles, my interests and other things important to me. I used the colours Purple and Red. I used Purple because it's my favourite colour and to me it's a calm and relaxing colour. I used Red because i needed something to pop or stand out, so i used Red. It has a rich, dark tone so it worked really well. Which is also balance and contrast between colours.
For this art piece I had to experiment with many things. I experimented with colours, fonts, and trying to communicate myself. The thing I really struggled on was trying to communicate myself and then making it look like a thumb print. I used water colour materials for the background, such as a watercolour pallet, 2 cups of water ( one for washing your brush and the other one for water colour effects), a watercolour (fluffy) brush , rubber cement ( to stick the watercolour parer and the over head paper), and other little materials like tape to stick on a board with your paper and a thin marker to write your thumb print. I'm especially pleased on how it turned out. I didn't think it would look that good because of he colours, they didn't match an i never thought it would have worked out. But it did. I hope you enjoyed this art piece of Thoughts of Mind!
