Jackson Pollock

You are probably wondering who the heck is Jackson Pollock he could be a scientist, magician but he is not any of those he is an artist. He is not just any ordinary artist he was the artist who uses drip painting  it is a form of art when you still use the brush you just don't touch touch the canvas. You might be thinking "How can you paint without touching the canvas?" well thats is what drip art is. You start by drowning you brush in the colour you want (light colour's are the most effective) the you splotch it around the canvas to make blobs you leave the brush over it and the make lines you move the brush very fast over the canvas or paper. We started by doing it on a sheet on the top of the tarpaulin in case the carpet got paint all over it. Then we had four colours to chose from orange, purple, green and blue. For starters I chose orange the blue to make the two colours combined and from then on I just went crazy at one point blue then orange followed by green before purple but in the end it all paid off. I thought we were done, then Katie dropped a bombshell on us... We had to do more. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be we just had to create a outline in black for something we were going to fill later. I couldn't think of something so I just did a combination of shapes. We also found an online website were you can create your own digital image here is the link http://www.jacksonpollock.org/ Here is my online one:
As you can see it's pretty carzy
