Drip Art
1

Have you ever scribbled on a piece of paper and called it art? One great artist is best known for dripping and throwing paint onto a large sheet called a canvas. He became famous by creating paintings made of scribbles! Jackson Pollock was an artist during the 1900s. The art he created was called action painting because he moved a lot while he painted. He worked with his canvas on the floor so he could move around his painting. While moving, he used a variety of objects to splash and drip the paint. Pollock didnt just use brushes to paint. He experimented with sticks, spoons, and sprays. He poked holes in the bottom of paint cans and let the paint drip onto the canvas. Often, he just poured the paint rather than using any other tool at all! Pollocks unique way of painting made him very popular. Translation: to scribble: hacer garabatos

l In paragraph 3, the word unique 9 means

A uncommon. B unpopular. C unimportant. D unnoticed.
