Final Art Project

Materials needed: 

gouache paint-green (anxious), red(happy), yellow(content), and blue(sad)
Bristol board

blunts 

your own thumb 

What to do: 

Step 1:
When you wake up, cover your thumb print in the gouache that best describes your mood. 

Step 2:

Press thumb on Bristol board to make a print. 

Step 3:

Use Bristol board as a way to put out blunts through-out the day. 

Step 4:

Before bed, repeat step one. 

Step 5:
Repeat step two. 

Step 6:

Repeat these steps for 7 days until there is one weeks worth of markings. 

Step 7:

Notice any correlations that may have been made. 

When I approached this final, I knew the only thing I do every single day that could be documented, is smoking. I use it for motivation, anxiety, pain, happiness, etc... 

The correlations were not as obvious as I had hoped, because I honestly did not have as many materials (blunts) as I would have liked. However, it does seem like the days that I smoked less I may have ended up less likely to be happy. I wanted to simply make it a little experiment for myself considering my major is Psychology and I'm passionate about it.
