Today we learned that our fundraising project for our mini art unit was successful! We will be able to order a very large cotton canvas for each student to do their own Pollock inspired “action” painting. We will be ordering the materials in the next few days, and in the meantime we have a few more lessons to complete.
Today we discussed the different tools Jackson Pollock used to create his paintings, including some of his wife’s kitchen utensils! We made Pollock inspired paintings today by driving matchbox cars around our papers! The children were captivated by this process, and many of the children spent 15 or more minutes quietly painting away.
