Oh, Abstract Expressionism, how you make me think (or not).

The last time we studied art in class was when we were hanging out with our Surrealists and Dadaists and you thought that was nuts. From mustached Mona Lisa to paint splatter. Well that escalated quickly.  Remember, we don't have to like a certain kind of art to respect the work of an artist.  Abstract Expressionism isn't necessarily about dealing with your feels, but taking ownership of the human experience.  Like Mark Rothko once said, "a painting is not a picture of an experience, but is the experience". All of the painting, sculpture, literature, architecture, and philosophy is subjective in the 20th century and beyond - it's what you make of it. Kind of like jazz music or dance, just go with it.

How about these fun Rothko cookies?

Or even these Pollock cookies????

I motion for an Artistic Movement Cookie Day. It will be amazing and delicious. 

Don't forget - your Pop Art reading is due tomorrow!  

Everytime. 

Finished with the reading and have some free time? Here are some things you can do!

• Like studying or hanging out in coffeehouses but you're either too lazy to leave your home or your parents won't drop you off? Listen to the background sounds instead! 
• Make your own Jackson Pollock art!
• Play Pacman via Google
• Watch a bunch of oddly satisfying gifs
