Art: Jackson Pollock
We have been learning about the life and work of abstract artist, Jackson Pollock.
We learned that he was not always a happy man, and as a result chose to use darker colours to reflect how he was feeling.
During our provocation sessions, we were inspired to make some pieces of art using his famous 'drip painting' technique with string and pegs! Have a look at what we created!
