Pollock "Action Paintings" 1st Grade - Go Holladay School

Van Gogh and Matisse Room- 1st Grade
Artist Inspiration: Jackson Pollock and Alexander Calder
Lesson by Mrs. Sharon Ogle, Ms. Ade Kaur and Ms. Patty Cooper
Activity: The first grades classes were studying the science theme of "Balance and Motion". We incorporated our fine arts magnet into our theme by studying the artists, Alexander Calder for balance who was a famous artist who made mobiles, and Jackson Pollock for motion. Jackson Pollock was an abstract impressionist who called his work Action Painting. He wanted his work to show control of energy, movement and motion. Our students made mobiles like Calder and Huge abstract “Action paintings” like Pollock.
