A few weeks ago, the multi age classes joined together in Adapted Art and studied the work of Jackson Pollock. He was an influential American painter famous for his drip paintings. He would spread his canvas on the floor of his studio and use his whole body to pour, splatter, and drip paint across canvas.
As fun as that would be to try in the Mason Crest art room, we simplified the process by placing paper in box tops and dipping marbles in paint. The dipped marbles spread paint all over the paper in unique designs as we moved the boxes in different ways! We only used the primary colors and enjoyed seeing new colors emerge as the marbles rolled around in the space, mixing colors and creating line and texture!

Some students also experimented with creating paintings on poster board in plastic bags! They chose two primary colors to add to the bag. Once closed, the bag could then be manipulated, squeezed, and the paint pushed around to create a smaller painting!
Any more ideas for unusual painting techniques?!
How would you create your non-objective painting?
Jackson Pollock would be proud of these action paintings. That's for sure!
