Description:
For the second lesson we got to create these masterpieces by first learning about artist Jackson Pollock and his famous “drip technique” where he painted by pouring from the pail, directly onto a canvas!
This is Jackson Pollock’s Drip Painting, 1951
We tried our own drip art a little differently, but they turned out beautiful! We cut out 3 geometric shapes from our plain, white paper and use them to complete the following steps.
Step 1: In an aluminum tray, spray 3 separate piles of shaving cream. Then chose, at least, two colors of food coloring and do three drops of each color into the desired pile of cream.
Step 2: Use a small popsicle stick to mix around the food coloring into a design of your liking.
Step 3: Lightly dip the top of your geometric shapes into each pile, one shape per pile of shaving cream. Pull the shape out and use a hard card, business or credit card type, to scape the excess shaving cream off and reveal your design!
Step 4: Glue the shapes onto your background once they dry completely and decorate as desired.
Extension Activity:
An extension activity to this could be learning to mix the primary colors. The students could drip 2 primary colors together in a pile of shaving cream and reveal what complementary color they reveal.
An integration activity could be in math. The students could cut out different 2D shapes they were learning about (circle, square, rectangle, etc) and create their marbled shapes! An example standard could be 1.G.A.2.
