Jackson pollock practical

the practical started on a4 paper with black and white acrylic paint, i had little to no idea on pollocks technique, thought behind his work, or him other than the fact i knew of his work and had seen some in person on my trip to new york city.

the task was to replicate one of pollocks paintings, which is physically impossible as the physics behind each splatter of paint is going to be different to the next and will never ever be exactly the same as pollocks. so we interpreted our own by looking at the markings that he had made and trying to make similar markings with black and white acrylic, the lines of his work are quite long and stringy, the consistancy of acrylic wouldnt create those lines on its own, so i mixed the paint with a decent amount of pva glue to create a more runny yet tacky consistancy to create the lines as close to what pollock was making.
