ACTION JACKSON PAINTINGS

Action Jackson Paintings

Learning Targets

I can...

Create an Action Jackson Painting using painting techniques learned in class
Use line variation (dotted, curved, straight), amorphous shapes (cloud, dust, ellipse), and color (monochromatic, gradation) inspired by American Abstract Expressionist Painter (1912-1956) Jackson Pollock
Use painting techniques (dripping, splattering, splashing) and design principles (movement, emphasis, rhythm) based on Abstract Expressionism
Define Action Painting (splashing, throwing, or pouring of paint onto a canvas)

Lesson One
Day One, Art Start

1. One: Number 31 (1950) Jackson Pollock

2. Read Action Jackson by Jan Greenberg & Sandra Jordan

3. Discussion Questions "The dashed lines are lines in the road. The curved lines are like curvy roads. The dotted lines remind us of how we use the glue in the art room. The zigzag line is like a lighting bolt and the straight line is like a rigid robot. What type of emotions might connect to these lines? Why do you think he would abandon this artwork when he became famous for it? How do you think his personal experiences influences his paintings?"

Lesson Activities

1. Choose 18" by 24" Painting Paper

3. Action Painting- is the splashing, throwing, or pouring of paint on a canvas. "Jackson Pollock would move quickly when dripping, wobbling, or throwing paint onto his canvas. His paintings showed emotions, happiness or anger, in the expressive marks of his paintings. What do you think? Do some of the marks in this painting remind you of dancers dancing?"
