Inspired by Jackson Pollack and Abstract Expression, 7-8 art did a quick two-day action painting. I find I have to jump around a lot from media to media and 2-D to 3-D or they get bored. Basically you dip a piece of yarn in watery black paint or ink, lay on paper with end out, put another paper over it, lay a light board on top, and pull out the yarn. Dry overnight and add color pencil on day 2 to one of the 2 mirror images. Pencil strokes should follow the strokes there and show shading. They kind of look like liquid. We also talk about ink blot tests. One that looks like a snail is included here.
