Jackson Pollock with a Twist

The Kindergarteners have been making artwork filled with all sorts of lines.  This week we've been looking at the work of action painter Jackson Pollock.  His paintings are filled with drippy lines that look like giant scribbles all over the canvas.  The Kindergarteners created their own version of drippy paintings.  First they glued bright colored paper onto their white paper (and yes, we're getting better at gluing!).  Then they squirted glue all over the paper to make tangled, scribbled lines.  Next they sprinkled salt to the glue and let it dry.  Finally they added watercolor paint to the salt and watched the primary colors mix to create the secondary colors.  Check out their beautiful, abstract works of art:
