JACKSON POLLOCK (1912-1956) was an influential American painter with his ABSTRACT IMPRESSIONIST style. Here’s an intriguing question for young and old: What is drip painting? That’s what Pollock used.Children relate to the childhood of famous people, such as these artists. For instance, young Jackson was expelled at age 16 from several high schools. Then at age 18 he and his older brother Charles moved to New York City and studied at the Art Students League. So you see a determined but independent young fellow here. Do young people need to be “rebellious” in order to be artists? There’s a question for your young students to consider.ABSTRACT ART—how can young art students learn to understand it? Let them view each painting until they get some meaning or feeling to express. Take “Autumn Rhythm,” for instance. Are “autumn” and “rhythm” expressed here? How? How do the colors make you feel in “Convergence?” Spend enough time with all 24 paintings in this book and talk about colors, patterns, moods, any discernible subject matter such as in “Blue.” How do the artist’s titles for each painting express the feeling or meaning?Wouldn’t it be quite an experience FOR the youngsters, and even us “teachers,” to try some of this DRIP PAINTING? Quite an exciting on-hands experience to get inside artist Pollock!
To me, the art of Salvador Dali is as clear as glass compared to Jackson Pollock’s works. I see movement and repetition of pleasing color combinations, but I don’t understand what puts his art in the ‘masterpiece’ category.Of all the paintings I've reviewed thus far, Jackson Pollock’s work is the neediest of some explanation or enlightenment for the reader. Perhaps others understand Pollock’s aims; I’m still clueless after reading some biographical info on the man and his style of creating art (from other sources).
Great collection of paintings to use in teaching children. However, I think the kids will relate to him because they will feel like their scribbles are like Jackson Pollock. I like the Blue painting best. I think you have to have a particular taste for this kind of art. It is difficult to explain it to anyone. This is artwork only with no text on the artist. Can be used to teach about his art which is abstract and modern.
See my other reviews.I'm giving this a 4 only because this is really not my style, as far as paintings are concerned. However, for those of you who are trying to either teach or learn the different and I mean different techniques of painters, this is a good book to check out.
I was fortunate enough to have received this book for free and would say unless you really enjoy the works of Jackson Pollock I would strongly advise you go on-line first to browse the manner in which he paints prior to purchase. To me it was just 24 pages of random scribbles whereas I personally need more substance to grab me. I'm sure there are others that will like this but I can't honestly say I did. Chalk it up to personal preference with no reflection whatsoever on the author.
I really like Pollock's work and this is a great way to have a few in my home, even if only on my Kindle. Never knew he did some less abstract works but am glad he did. This book is a great way to introduce kids to a great artist.
Perfect for our Classical Conversations group and also her Atelier art classes this fall. I wish I would have found them last fall but better late than never!
I had never heard about artist Alfred Stevens and am blown away by his extraordinary talent. His portraits of lovely women are perfectly beautiful!
