Inspired By Jackson Pollock

Jackson Pollock was an artist who painted pictures using a painting technique called action painting or drip painting.  Our class watched an animated video about Pollock and his technique and then with the help of Mrs. Liu, the students created their own drip paintings. It was a fun and educational experience that introduced the children to a new artist and a new painting technique.  It also helps the children to understand that art can be abstract, and not just scenes.  Each of the children then looked at their finished art and they gave it a title.  We were amazed at their creativity and how their art spoke to them.
