Action Painting Workshop
The action painting workshop attempts to give students personal insight into art production existing between the time of Jackson Pollock and contemporary social/relational practices. The workshop split students into two teams, red and blue, to play a game where the goal is to get the most amount of paint on their canvas.
Rules of the workshop:
Unlike Pollock attacking the canvas which was spread out in front the lone artist, like a boxing ring, the action painting workshop encourages a cooperative and competitive environment where the paintings exist as artifact and the event is the "art". The workshop took place at the Nakasatsunai High School for the Handicapped, with students participants, and was created for the Tokachi Artist in Residence program on 2014-10-01 and 2014-10-02.
Rules of the workshop:
- No physical contact between players or intentionally throwing balloons at other players.
- Players are only allowed to take three steps with a balloon before they must pass the balloon to a teammate.
- Players, who are not the goalie, are not allowed to enter the goal keeper's area.
- The game takes place over 3 periods which last for 15 minutes each with 5 minute breaks between the periods.
