I remember when I was in third grade our teacher had great passion for the arts. She introduced us to many artists and one of the one Jackson Pollock, an American abstract painter. His art amused me because to many all those splattered paints meant absolutely nothing but a “mess” some would say but to me this art had so much expression in it.
