P.S. ARTS To Go! Jackson Pollock String Pull Painting with Ian

About the activity:

Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was an American abstract expressionist painter known for his drip, splash, and pour style of painting that embraced random spills and streaks of color. His physical, whole-body approach to painting started the “action” painting movement. Pollock’s technique is considered the launching point of the “action” painting movement.
