Abstract Expressionism focuses on movement, energy, and the act of creating itself. Artists in this movement often worked in bold, physical ways.
Jackson Pollock became famous for dripping and splattering paint onto large canvases, turning the process of painting into a performance.
This style is less about what you see and more about how the artwork feels. Every mark shows movement, emotion, and spontaneity.
This week’s homework invites students to explore freedom and expression, helping them understand that art doesn’t always need to represent something — it can simply be an experience.
