"Paint Like Pollock"

Project complete!

OHMS 6th graders have finished their Paint Like Pollock project, a collaboration, mural-size painting inspired by Crystal Bridges' current exhibition: Van Gogh to Rothko. This current show highlights some major names from the abstract expressionist movement from the mid-1900s who we looked at for this piece.

One of the artists from the Van Gogh to Rothko show, and our inspiration for this project, is none other than Jackson Pollock himself and his famous work, "Convergence."

The students gained a clear understanding and appreciation for this style of art and learned how fun it can be to be expressive in art.

Our huge Paint Like Pollock painting measures approximately 6 x 12 feet and will be on display at Old High Middle School.

Take a look!
