Jackson Pollock is best known for the “drip” technique he used to create his major paintings. Check out this take on drip painting by our talented 7th graders!
Inspiration: Jackson Pollock was born in 1912 in Wyoming. When he was eighteen, he moved to New York and trained as a mural painter. This meant he was used to working on a very large scale and so the idea of painting on a big canvas didn't scare him at all. Jackson was an abstract expressionist artist. The abstract expressionists were a group of young New York artists who made paintings that were non-representational, meaning they didn't look like anything. Instead, they tried to show emotions, like happiness or anger, in the expressive marks that they made in their drawings, paintings and sculptures. He is best known for the “drip” technique he used to create his major paintings. Rather than using a brush, he poured or dripped paint onto canvases.
