Kindergarten Art Project - Painting like Pollock
Paul Jackson Pollock was born on January 28, 1912. He was an American painter and an important player in the artist movement known as abstract expressionism. Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety in his own lifetime.
Known as “Jack the Dripper”, he arranged the canvas on the floor, and painting around it, as if engaging in a dance. He experimented with various paints and materials, mastering control of each to create his famous drip paintings. He dismissed the idea of making mistakes in his art, he denied “the accident”.
Ms. Krista’s Kindergarten class met last Friday to create their own Pollock inspired work. Using cotton duck canvas, sand, acrylic paint, brushes, sticks, combs, a flyswatter, ice cream scoop, and even a feather to create their own masterpiece!
The new painting is proudly displayed in the hallway outside of the Wiggle Room. Congratulations to all of our Kindergarten students on this wonderful piece of art. Check out this time-lapse video of the kids in action! Painting like Pollock
