Pour Painting

The pour painting activity was really interesting and fun. First, you mixed water and paint together to form "watery" paint. Then, you poured the paint onto a blank piece of paper. You could either have a little control over the placing of the paint, or you could randomly drop the paint. I did a little bit of splatter paint on my painting. I stood up, and poured the paint from a  higher level so i had no control over it. It was interesting to see what shapes the paint created and what direction they went in. Also, I liked being surprised in the shapes that I saw, because I had no idea what they would form like. I was surprised when I was the paints combine together and form a swirl between the two colors. I thought they would combine and create a different color.
When I came back to the pour painting the following day, I saw that the colors were changed, and it looked completely different from what it looked like the day before. I could see shapes and images in my head when I looked at it. For example, I was able to detect a sailboat in the middle of the painting, and the shape of a fish attached to the corner of the painting. My painting is not fully done, I could add more pictures to it.
