Millenium Primary Plyboard Sheep
Team pattern painting.
On day 2 of the workshop one child confessed to having done an action
painting when he got home. In that moment I appreciated one of the
limitations of teaching action painting to 11 year olds. If they don't
get it you've wasted their time, if they do get it and practice it
teachers and parents are unlikely to get it and their endevours will go
unappreciated, untill they arrive at art college since action painting
appreciation is still largely a mystery. But 18 is quite late to arrive
at this vital knowledge. I see this as a recurring issue and fundemental
flaw in institutional education.
Assorted painting styles.
