🎨🌿 Dr. Martin’s students unleashed their inner artists and dove into the world of Jackson Pollock! Using objects, nature, and Pollock himself as inspiration, they explored abstract expressionism. It was incredible to witness how they seamlessly integrated what they've learned about making logical connections within the text into their artwork.
Each stroke of paint told a story, each splatter a burst of imagination. From the canvas emerged a true reflection of their understanding and appreciation for Pollock's style. He’s immensely proud of their achievements and can't wait to see where their artistic journeys take them next! 🖌️✨
