Action Jackson

As I have said before, process is very important to me. I think that it is important for students to learn through play and exploration. We studied the work of Jackson Pollock and talked about the difference between abstract art and nonrespresentational art. (Ask your child if they can tell you the difference!) I taped string to the end of paint brushes and students were free to create their composition by dipping the string in paint and then twirling it across the paper. This mimics the he way Pollock would dance across his canvases, splattering paint.
