When Jackson Pollock first dripped, dribbled and
flung paint onto a canvas it’s doubtful he ever envisioned his abstract art
techniques being used for a fall themed kids’ art activity. That said, painting
with splatters, splishes and splots can help your young artist to learn about
this famous masterpiece-maker.
As trees change from green to an autumn orange,
yellow or red, your child can transform paper leaves from summer to fall
colors. What does Jackson Pollock have to do with coloring fall leaves? This
activity uses his famous paint-splatter to make plain paper leaves into
abstract autumn art.
This is a messy art activity. Prep for the mess
before the art-making begins!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
Green construction paper
·
A marker
·
Scissors
·
Tempera paint in red, orange and yellow
·
A paintbrush
·
A paint tray, palette or the top of a
plastic-ware container (turn it over and it makes an inexpensive palette)
Here’s What to Do:
1. Draw
a fall leaf onto a piece of green paper with a marker. Your child can draw her
own leaf shape or she can trace a real one.

2. Cut
the leaf out.

3. Pour
golf ball-sized pools of red, orange and yellow tempera paints onto the
palette.
4. Soak
the brush in the first color of paint and fling it onto the leaf. Repeat with
the other fall colors. If the paint is too thick to splish and splash easily,
add water to it.
It’s as easy as that to change green leaves into
autumn-colored splatter art! The creative fun doesn’t have to end there. Check
back in with me later in the week for a way to turn this colorful plant project
into a nature mobile.
