My Project

Painting with the fingers is a simple form of creative expression. It was originally intended as a means of developing the imaginative and artistic powers of young children. It has become a hobby for people of all ages. We will look at the artwork of artist Iris Scott and her famous "Shakin Dogs" series, where she creates her artwork on canvas using a finger painting technique. We will use her technique to create our own inspired "Shakin Dog" work of art. This project benefits students of all ages because it can be an excellent stress reliever. The sheer experience of using your fingers to create something fresh and new can be very uplifting emotionally and psychologically. Additionally, finger painting is a highly engaging and involving activity that improves focus and concentration. The goal of our project is to learn about the life and art of artist Iris Scott, and to use her finger painting technique to create our own inspired work of art.
