Kindergarten: Jackson Pollock Hands On Painting


Student’s began this project by analyzing samples of Jackson Pollock’s work.  They identified the lines in the painting based on a previous line study they had completed the week before.  Students then learned that Pollock painted his line drawings by throwing paint on large canvases on the ground.  In order to create similar style artwork, kindergarteners were given a plastic tray with different four different colors of paint.  Each cup of paint had a marble placed in it.  Students put their paper in the tray, used a spoon to place the paint-covered marbles in the tray, and then rocked the tray side to side.  This motion guided the marbles across their canvases, each one creating a unique design.
