Pour Paintings
Last week you made paintings by pouring paint onto paper. You then searched the pour to find imagery that could be further developed using other materials.
On your blog, describe the process of making the original pour paintings. How did it feel to give up control of the shapes that were forming? Were you surprised by anything you saw happening?
Next describe what you saw in the pours when you returned to them to further develop the image. Where is your picture headed or if it's done, what did you end up doing with the pour?

Reflecting on blocks, play dough, and finger paint.
We discussed the Picasso quote and why it can be hard for people to continue to be creative and artistic as they grow up. Then we played with the “art supplies” of childhood: blocks, play dough, and finger paint.
On your blog write consistently for the time allotted to describe the experience of playing with these materials as a teenager…connect the experience to our discussion of the Picasso quote in any way you can.
Here are some questions that might help you get started:
What did you do when you first touched the materials?
What did you make with the materials?
How did you know what to do with the materials?
How did you feel while you were working today? Why?
What about your past experiences informed your experience today?
