Jackson Pollock Inspired Abstract Paintings

Picture
As your child enters middle school, there are emotions that start to show more prominently than previous years.  New experiences, a new "school", new teachers, new classmates, more homework, harder homework. not to mention hormones are just a few of the things that they will be dealing with this year. Fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, love, hate, among many others create the general make up of a middle school student. Taking the melting pot of emotions and feelings, I can think of no better artist to start the art year off than Master Abstract artist, Jackson Pollock.  Pollock dealt with his own issues and used art as an outlet to deal with the rigors of life.  Now, don't get me wrong. The students will not be throwing paint on canvas like Pollock did, but the process isn't too far off.  I can assure you that this will be one of their favorites of the year.

- be introduced to art vocabulary: Masking, Abstract Expressionism, primary colors, secondary colors, analogous colors, tertiary colors
​​- choose a color scheme and paint a canvas

​MATERIALS & PROCEDURES
20" x 20" Canvas (class set)
​Assorted colors of Acrylic Paint
​Class set of liquid soap
​Assorted colors of Spray Paint
PROCEDURES:

Teacher led discussion on Jackson Pollock and different examples of his paintings.
​Students are given a 20"x20" canvas.
​They write their name on the wooden stretcher on the back of the canvas.
​They look at the color wheel. They decide on an analogous or tertiary color scheme and paint their canvas using acrylic paint with large paint brushes.
Day two:
​Students take canvas outside.
​Set up their painting station by putting brown butcher paper down on the ground
​Students take bottles of liquid soap and "throw" or "drip" soap on to their painting.
​Students choose a color of spray paint and paint their canvas.
​The soap acts as a masking agent and will protect the painted portion of the canvas under the soap
​Two minutes later, students take their canvas and stand it up against the stone wall. They take the hose and spray the soap off, revealing a Pollock-like piece
