Combine art and technology to create a zero mess, no clean up, action painting!
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) activities help develop innovative thinkers and integrate active learning so that your child can learn how to problem solve and develop their creative thinking skills.
I discovered this interactive website when I was teaching in the classroom.
My students use to love coming up to the interactive white board and create their own Jackson Pollock inspired action painting on the board.
This art + tech project is really simple and easy to do….even if you are “non-techy” person.
DIGITAL ACTION ART TUTORIAL
Step 1: Go to http://www.jacksonpollock.org/
Step 2: Use your mouse or cursor to control the “paint brush” across the screen and tap or click to change the color.
That is it!
Like, I said super simple yet engaging for your child (or you)!
And no clean up!

This was the perfect follow up activity to our Action Painting with Gumballs.
After having experienced the “hands on” way to explore action painting my young artists were able to translate that same idea to the computer.
Check out the website for yourself and share with us your action painting work of art!
