Messy fun, creativity highlight finger painting night

Residence Life Association sponsored a finger painting session at the Hub from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, which attracted around 20 students. The painting was done with acrylic paint. Students had the option of painting barehanded or with latex gloves provided by RLA. Prizes were awarded randomly through a number draw.

“This event is an activity for people to come and just relax and instead of using paintbrushes paint with their fingers.  To get outside of the left-side of your brain into your right, to get a little bit more creative and have more fun.” Resident adviser, Nalani Stewart, 21, of Colorado Springs, Colorado said.

 “I think it is really great to be able to see the really cool art pieces they are creating and it helps to relax them as right now is really a stressful time.” Lydia Privett, 21, from Wahoo said.

 “The finger painting night was a super fun time, I really liked getting to paint with my hands and even getting a little messy.  It was a really different experience and I liked it.”  Kinsey Smith, 19, Freshman, of Windsor, Colorado said.

RLA events will continue with “Terrific Turkeys” tomorrow night, at 7:30 p.m. in the Hub. RLA will have a wellness week starting Monday, with booths and activities based on health and wellness.
