Jackson Pollock

Splash, splatter, and pour paint with this art box inspired by Jackson Pollock!

Inside the box, children will find a wealth of engaging information alongside high-quality art supplies. They’ll learn about Pollock’s life and with each project, they’ll see how he brought innovative ideas to the art world. Young artists will begin with an abstract piece that expresses themes of nature and destruction. Then they will reproduce one of Pollock’s early regional paintings and they’ll try their hand at action painting! The box wraps up with a fun museum diorama. All of these projects are open-ended, giving kids plenty of space to try out their own ideas!
