As promised we have been painting in the style of Jackson Pollock and the weather has been cooperating nicely. If your child has come home with paint on his shoes and in his hair or ears, then he definitely got the Pollock technique down pat! It is fun to see how each child uses the same technique in a different way. Some like lots and lots of paint and others use very little.
On Thursday we will learn about Salvador Dali and surrealism. Dali is fascinating with his dreamlike works. We will take the ideas of surrealism and try to capture that in a collage. I can't wait to see what your child creates. If time allows we will play an art game where we compare and identify surrealism and realism in paintings. I love using games in learning.
If you have any art ideas or games or if you see a great art website, let me know about it. I'm always up for learning new things.
