In the Studio Room we have been learning about the art style of Jackson Pollock.

We have been busy making our own abstract splat, drip and splash art using a variety of materials to create the splash such as droppers and spoons.

We noticed today there were some faces on the floor but something was missing “no hair”

We decided to use our learning of Jackson Pollocks splash painting to create the crazy hair using brushes to splat the paint.

This was so much fun that we thought why not recreate this outdoors in a larger area.

Outdoors we used chalk to draw the faces on the ground then explored different techniques and materials to create the wild and crazy hair, using a variety of mops, spray bottles, squeezing bottles and turkey basters, as well as large and small paint brushes.

This helped us to develop our gross motor skills as we used our bodies to make massive splashes.

We spoke about the different types of splashes each of our different resources made. We had great fun having more space to make the splashes go further.

We enjoyed expanding our learning across different learning environments to develop a range of skills for our 2-5 year old children.

I wonder what Jackson Pollock inspired art we will create tomorrow.
