It's probably funnier since I know this animal loving art teacher, but she wrote this in an e-mail:


How to make your own Jackson Pollock - by Murray
When you are home alone and feeling creative try this fun activity:
In the kitchen find the drawer with cat treats. In the front of the drawer are heavy cans of food to keep dogs from getting to the treats. You will use these cans for your painting. First, chew on the drawer a little while you pry it open. If you'd like, it might be helpful to use the drawer hardware below for leverage. If you break it, don't worry, anyone with thumbs can buy a new one at home depot.

When you get the drawer open, carefully chew on the side of the can until you puncture it. You will need at least three cans in contrasting colors so choose wisely. In my drawer, I chose green enchilada sauce, petite diced tomatoes and a can of black beans. Also, i find it works best with two to three puncture holes, but one will work if you have a small canvas/kitchen floor. Remove the punctured cans one at a time and drop on the floor. You will want to drop them hard so they roll and create a splatter. Be sure your splatters of color overlap in a fractal pattern, just like a real Jackson Pollock. Continue dropping and rolling until you are happy with your work - or until your dog brain gets tired.

Then, step back and enjoy the masterpiece you have created. Lastly, reward yourself by eating the cat treats tucked away in the back of the drawer. Eat as many bags as you want want, you've earned it!

I haven't ever met Murray, but I think that's a great name for a dog.
