Jackson Pollock

So, a while back my students created a piece of art based on the style of Jackson Pollock. The very large painting is currently hanging in the hall outside our classroom. We created it using tempra paint. Some was distilled with water and shot out of squirt bottles while the rest was wiped and flung from the end of paint brushes. We only had a few minor problems with paint ending up on shoes and in faces but it was a fun time. Here is the final masterpiece:

We naturally did this outside on the grass. It made for something interesting for people to see during recess.
