Fingerprint Art

[entirelysonja]

Yesterday I went with Erika to the last session of the National Gallery of Art's winter "Stories in Art" program, where they looked at Chuck Close's fingerprint painting, "Fanny/Fingerpainting." They also read Leo Lionni's "Pezzetino" and tried their hands at fingerprint painting. Erika had a good time, and I think this has really been a good series for getting her thinking about how art is made.

How interesting. Thanks for cnucodting those interviews Skud.The scheme looks brilliant. That alone is almost tempting enough for me to want to drop everything and go join them. I have my own webspace now so I probably don't even need it, but it really shows a commitment to removing barriers to entry. Their wiki also has dedicated advice for beginners and new developers. How did they do it? How can other new projects do it? How can existing project move this direction too?
