For the Budding Modern Artist
1. Create Jackson Pollock-style art
http://www.jacksonpollock.org/
Jackson Pollock is famous for art he called “action painting.” He would lay a huge canvas on the floor, dip sticks into cans of paint, and then drip and flick the paint all over the canvas. Sometimes he even dumped the paint out of the can straight on the canvas! At this website, you can drip, pour, and splatter paint all over a virtual canvas!
2. Brushter—make abstract art
http://www.nga.gov/kids/zone/brushster.htm
Abstract art does not look exactly like something from real life. Instead, you have to use your imagination to decide what it looks like to you. At this website, you can use the elements of art (line, shape, color, texture) to create your very own abstract masterpiece. When you are finished, print and display it for friends and family!
