How does technique differ in various art?

Technique is related more to the artist than the medium. Each artist has their own technique, some good examples are Jackson Pollock and his drip paintings, Georges Serat and his pointillism, or optical color mixing technique. Often in art the words style and technique can be interchanged, as in 'a painting done in the style of Pollock'. The technique, in this example, could be the same or quite different from that of Pollock.

What made Jackson pollock famous did he do something that was different or unusual did he use different styles during his career what were they?

Ok. I am surprised no one has answered this one yet. He is most famous for his Drip paintings, or in more technical terms, action paintings. Although Jackson was the one to become famous for this technique, and it is mostly all he is known for. He DID NOT create it. A lot of people are convinced he did, but if you look at Max Ernsts' paintings, he had done the drip painting much before Jackson had even thought of it.

What is the 'drip period'?

"Drip" paintings are sometimes associated with Jackson Pollock's paintings. His method of painting would be taking paint and "dripping" or "throwing" the colors onto the canvas, which were sometimes unprimed.


Which artist is famous for his drip painting style?

That style of action painting was experimented with in the first half of the twentieth century by such artists as Francis Picabia, and Max Ernst, who employed drip painting in his works The Bewildered Planet, and Young Man Intrigued by the Flight of a Non-Euclidean Fly (1942). Drip painting was however to find particular expression in the work of the mid-twentieth century artist Jackson Pollock. Pollock found drip painting to his liking; later using the technique almost exclusively, he would make use of such unconventional tools as sticks, hardened brushes and even basting syringes to create large and energetic abstract works.
