For today's Fine Art Friday I am going to share with you a hand painted sign that I found in a thrift shop many years ago. Do you know how when you go to the movies, there is usually a screen before the movie starts that reminds everyone to turn off their phones and to be quiet during the movie? Well, a long time ago, the way movie theaters told people to be quiet was that they had these little signs. I'm not sure how they did it, but they had a way that they could show this sign up on the movie screen through a machine called a projector.
The person who painted this sign probably didn't think of it as Art. He or she was just trying to paint carefully and in a way that everyone could easily read the message. However, I find it really beautiful. I love that it was made by hand and that the letters are a little tiny bit wiggly. The white words are a little bumpy if you run your fingers across the sign. In my house, I have it hanging above my piano because I think it's funny that I play loud music underneath a sign that says I should be silent. Ha!
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
See you for a video lesson in a little bit!
Artfully Yours,
Mrs. Starbuck
