The boys and I have been attending a Mini Masters class at a local art studio every Friday on our "stay at home days" (which end up being spent mostly away from the house getting groceries, running other errands, and attending art class). For a month, I have been anxious for Jackson Pollock week and it did not disappoint. Here is my little Mini Master himself in his art smock.
Not sure why his hands are all yellow - finger painting wasn't part of the instruction.
Jackson Pollock was a very active artist, so this week's class was performed on the ground... which the boys loved.
The concept: put two marbles in some paint, drop said marbles onto your paper and then roll them around on the paper. Ryan's interpretation: put two marbles in some paint, kick another child's artwork, dig the marbles out of the paint and smear the now-paint-caked fingers on mom's jeans, roll the marbles around on the piece of paper, get excited, roll more excitedly, roll the marbles off of the paper onto the floor or other unsuspecting children's artwork. He is a wild child - well suited for Jackson Pollock week.
He did love it.
Guess who's artwork this is: Kyle or Ryan?
And this? Kyle or Ryan?
My favorite part of art class continues to be the fact that two boys, with the same parents, going to the same school, slightly different ages, given the same art supplies can make two TOTALLY different creations every week. I love it!
