Art History Lesson: Leonardo Da Vinci and Jackson Pollock

We had so much fun today learning about Leonardo Da Vinci and Jackson Pollock.  I had a load of books with a ton of pictures, which was great.  I love how there are always fabulous biographies for kids.

Jackson Pollock had a few nicknames, "Jack the Dripper" "Action Jackson" Luke made up a new one, "Jack Splat."

I am very sure this is Sylvia Heaven.

What cute artists.
