Rorschach Test Response

Using custom “wet ink” paintbrushes that I found online, I created Rorschach Ink Blots. I changed the colour of the background to beige (R:245, G:245, B:220) to resemble that of the original prints. I painted in symmetry mode so that the shapes were the same on both sides.

These are the brushes I used: 1 & 2

After completing the 12 ink blots, I asked a selection of people to respond to what they perceive the shapes as. I received a variety of responses as different people have interpretations, however there was also some common responses.
