Today, study and draw your fingerprint.
To make your fingerprint, roll the “print” portion of your finger over an ink pad from the left side to the right so you get the whole pattern, then repeat the movement over paper. You don’t have to push very hard. Study your print. It may be helpful to have a magnifying lens, or take a picture and zoom in to see it better. If you’re short on time, make one print. If you have more time, you have more fingers. Refer to the images below to figure out what type of pattern is in your fingerprints, then recreate your fingerprint, larger. A sharpie works well but media is artists’ choice.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][image_with_animation image_url=”9759″ alignment=”center” animation=”None” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][image_with_animation image_url=”9758″ alignment=”center” animation=”None” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Thank you for sharing your work!
