Jackson Pollock

Today we had a trip scheduled and a few students and I had to stay back from the trip, so I wanted them to have a fun day since they didn't get to go on the trip. I had seen a fun art lesson on storyboardtoys.com on art inspired by Jackson Pollock. I had bought a bag of marbles at the dollar store and had a few aluminum trays and thick white paper. Each student picked three to four colors and put them into a color pallete and then put a marble in each color and then placed the marble on the paper and moved the marbles around until they had the paper covered in a design of their choice. Check out their artistic pieces:
