JUNE 15th-19th
Jackson Pollock
He was an American artist who made abstract art (no clear picture—just colors and lines)
He is famous for drip painting—pouring and splashing paint instead of using a brush
His art showed feelings and movement, not objects
His style is called “action painting” because he moved his whole body while painting
