Last night I reviewed Project II with my class. Students could choose between working with a Pollock inspired idea or work in a photography media. Above is Neil's shoes pollocked..... (Jackson Pollock was a 50's abstract expressionist painter who revolutionized the NY art world with his famous structured chaos action paintings. Ed Harris plays him in the film Pollock. Pollock was also a drunk and was known for his abusive behavior. He died young (and drunk) in a car crash.)
These projects are pretty loose because the class is not designed for artists, but I find that the students really enjoy the hands on projects exciting. AND, they come up with some really good stuff!
Pictured above is part of Joel's art piece. In fact, he brought in his entire bedroom door covered with all these fantastical images! It is a conceptually based work and I thought clever with all his thoughts and ideas written about each photograph. He is very interested in computer animation and design.
Also above is Kellie's photography project. Her husband took this picture of her. Kellie is blond and she confessed to the class that she likes wigs. (Go figure!)
