Action Art

 

Description: In this art project we discussed action art. Action art is very random and spontaneous. We created three different forms of action art for this project. The first action art (top left painting) was marble painting. We used marbles with paint on them and rolled them over the page. The second action art (middle) was shaving cream art. We mixed shaving cream and paint and then dipped the paper into the cream, we wiped the extra cream off to show the design. Our last action art was string art. We dipped two pieces of string in paint and then pressed the paper together. When we removed the string, it created a beautiful piece of art. 

Extension Activity: A great extension activity for this project would be to do a life size project outside. It would be cool to make large marble paintings outside. The projects would look awesome, and the class could even use one long piece of paper for each painting style. The students would enjoy this outside art project a lot!
