My artifact is an acrylic paint brush pen. As an artist I have always loved the art of painting and as a professional I prefer the feel of acrylic paint. So when these pens came to me I immediately loved them. The testing that I used was to go through all the mediums of paper that I had. First of course there was canvas and canvas paper. That was the best result that i had with them i got a beautiful color wheel and pride flag. We went to black paper and newsprint and many others and I realized that the color doesn’t dull and doesn’t need water because it was a pigment brush. Then I tried other surfaces around me. Glass and plastic surfaces on electronics.

I think it was the amount of exploration that I had made for all the mediums that I had used. Then there was a thought that maybe i don’t need to change my mediums but maybe the way i was using the pens. So the idea was to use the pens with different parts of my body. First left hand then mouth and ect. To try and see if the control and feel of the pens were still there. Of course I had problems holding the pens in places like elbows and feet.
