For our dirty/messy type of painting we were to choose a quote about identity or social justice and portray that quote through a painting. I chose the quote,"Access to safe water is a fundamental human need and therefore a basic human right." by Kofi Annan. I had done a project in my design class last semester that was about the same issue and I wanted to do more on the subject. I decided to find pictures of all of the people that are affected by having no clean water and these pictures became my background in the painting. I then covered them with a tan paint so it gives the illusion of a dry and parched surface. I found a beautiful picture of hands and used those and extended the arms slightly. The water took some time to perfect but eventually it felt right. I really enjoyed this painting!
