The materials for our Jackson Pollock kickstarter project arrived in a huge truck today!! The palette weighed over three hundred pounds. Luckily the delivery man rolled it right into the garage! I could hardly wait for the Baila to get home so we could test out the paints and the canvas.
Baila was really excited to make a huge painting! She was also really nervous about “messing it up”. We talked alot about the process of making art and I tried to tell her that there really aren’t mistakes, just different paths that our art takes us on. With all sincerity she asked, “but what if I think it is ugly?” I asked her the same question back and she thought for a while and finally said, “I guess I would try to make it into something new.”
We lined up some of the paint choices on a long table:
Baila got right to work:
She kept saying, “Mommie, this is so awesome. I love this.”
Baila said, “Your students are going to LOVE this!” I think she is right!!
Her finished painting:
I can’t wait to hang it in her room!
