Painting Machines

Painting Machine Task • To create your own painting machine out of found objects and things

around the house. • To create a simple machine that paints for you that does not involve

your hands. • Jackson Pollock was one of the first action painters in the 1950’s, it is

now 2013 and I want you to experiment with creating something that paints for you.

• Document the process of the painting machine in at least 6- 10 images and or video.

• Also photograph and in the paintings.• You are to work in groups of 3 people and this should be a 3 hr task.

At the end of the session you will demonstrate your painting machine to the whole group.
