Last Pollock project before the BIG paint

Today we completed our last project in the Jackson Pollock series before our final canvas painting.  We used puff paint and foam core posters for this work.  Each child chose the colors they wanted to use, and made abstract designs.  Some children with less hand strength/coordination could not squeeze and wiggle the bottle at the same time, which was interesting.  Some children loved watching the paint ooze from the bottle so much, that they become transfixed and ended up with large piles of paint on their posters.  This project will give the children a feel for the abstract squiggles that we will use on the larger canvas later.
