Action Painting!

The painting materials have arrived and we completed our “practice” canvas together today!  Each child had a turn to try splattering paint onto the canvas in order to develop a feel for the technique before painting their individual works!  The kids were beyond excited!

They gathered around the canvas as we prepared the paint cups and brushes:

A red admiral butterfly landed on one of the children while he was painting and then fluttered down to the canvas!

Here is our completed Jackson Pollock canvas.  It measures 4’x3’ and will hang in our classroom.  Each child will now get to paint their own cnavas to take home!!
