Teaching Tips +

Prepare the space carefully before the action painting activities — cover surfaces and wear aprons. Works best outdoors or in a large space. Use Jackson Pollock's work as a discussion starter before children create their own. Ideal as a standalone art week or as part of a broader artists topic.
