Splatter Painting

We found a Jackson Pollock painting during a trip to an art museum this fall. Finally, an artist I can help The Kid mimic! We actually did this project a few weeks ago during a warmer fall day.

First, we gathered supplies for practicing:

A few colors of paint in bowls, some water to rinse brushes, a large variety of paintbrushes, and a towel to wipe hands on. Plus several large sheets of paper.

Then The Kid practices what types of marks she could make flicking different paintbrushes in different ways.

Finally, I broke out the great surprise: a real art canvas!

The final product is now hanging above our dining room table! She is so proud of it and talk about her favorite parts of it when we sit down to eat.
