Shake, Rattle, and Roll.....Painting like Jackson Pollock


Tempera + Marbles + Cardboard Boxes = Painting Fun!

Jackson Pollock's drip paintings emit a sense of energy, motion, and controlled chaos ...EXACTLY what you would have seen if you'd joined the 4K classes in the art room this week! The children rolled marbles in tempera paint, then put several marbles into a shallow cardboard box along with art paper. We put a top on the box so the children could shake, rattle, and roll the paint covered marbles to their hearts content. I wish you could have heard the "oohs" and "wows" as they opened the boxes to unveil their masterpieces!
