In
Pollock, the movie, Jackson changes his shoes before painting. Now the kids get why. It is very
important to have them remove their shoes if they don't want paint to
fall on them. Mine are covered and I wasn't even painting!
After initially using spoons, forks and knives with metallic acrylic
paint to create a visual rhythm on their Bristol boards, we went
outside
and, with common house latex paint and an assortment of sticks, danced
around the works. The students loved it and I sensed it was a good
stress reliever for them.
Puddles of paint have the long holiday weekend to dry.
Next we will add a stencil and spray paint layer.
This is the final assignment in my painting course that follows the development of paint from India inks, to ground pigments,
watercolors, acrylics, latex and finally to air-born propelled pigment.
If we went further I would have to include inkjet and pixel art.
