We took some time out from our longer projects (pictures coming soon!) to do a one day action painting in the style of Jackson Pollock. We learned about Pollock and how his painting was like the recording of a performance: detailed, complicated, and almost impossible to reproduce. While Pollock used sticks to drop and stir his paint, we used marbles in trays to create a similiar looking effect. We started out with primary colors and added black last for a bold effect. They look great, artists!
