ACTIVITY 1
Making Jackson pollock style art for Easter Egg Cards

 

Day 1 - Experimentals Paint Effect

Watch the clip on Jackson Pollack

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSYo-98fO1Y

Discuss how he pours and drips paint on to his paper.

Talk about what his painting is like.

What is action painting?

As an extension you could also try following this online tutorial but for my lesson you will only need some paint and something to get it onto the paper like a brush, cotton bud, spoon etc.

Step 1

Prepare plates of different coloured paints

 

Step 2

Find a tool like a brush and start adding the paint to paper

Try dripping the paint, pouring the paint. Make different patterns with the paint.

Do at least 5 sheets of paper with different colours that remind you or spring time

 

 

Extension:

You can use a bathroom squeegee to pull the paint and see what effects it makes if you have one!

What else could you try?
