It was time for the school's annual G/T Expo. Drew was chosen to participate in an art project with some other students from his class. The group learned about several different artists and then they each created a piece of artwork in the style of the artist. A talented mom taught the kids. They learned about Georges Seurat and pointillism, Monet and impressionism, Georgia O'Keefe who painted big flowers, and the abstract painter, Jackson Pollock.
The kids chose their favorite piece they made to be displayed. Drew chose his splattered painting in the style of Jackson Pollock. He named his piece, The Colorful Jungle. He chose that one as his favorite because he liked the way the paint was on there and how the colors mixed together. Also, he "saw" different animals and shapes in the paint. I never really understood abstract painting before. But seeing it through Drew's eyes really opened up mine. I love his abstract painting and how the colors all came together and that some of the paint really looks like a bird, a squirrel, and a snake. Great job, Drew!
