Today we had an art lesson on Abstract Expressionism. We read a book from the library about Jackson Pollack and the way he dripped paint onto his paper to make an 'action painting' (also known as splatter painting). Then we went outside and made our own paintings. They're quite colorful and we had a lot of fun. So if you are wondering how your child's shoes got such a fabulous makeover (or why their face is blue, their hair is pink, their legs are green, or their feet are red)...
After the paintings were mostly dry, I brought them in. It was interesting to see this table cloth and figure out where the papers had been.
And we left a colorful mess on the floor. (Good thing we did most of our work outside, and hooray for a wonderful janitor)
