Pollock assignment

Assignment 1: Create comic strip using Bitstrips or Comiqs

After reviewing Bitstrips and Comiqs, I preferred Bitstrips. Here's my comic strip.
It's based on an art history lesson for a high school art class. They learned about Abstract Expressionism and how artists from that movement painted from the subconscious, specifically Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956). Pollock painted in an automatic and spontaneous manner, letting the paint drip, splatter and pour onto the canvas.

For a lesson, students are asked to define Abstract Expressionism in a comic strip. As long as they define it they can be as creative as possible.
