DEAR FAMILY: Your child has been studying the differences between the art of Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Ask them to describe the two very different painting styles and how they have compared them to other aspects of the world, such as music, weather, feelings, and even hairstyles!
Help them to classify some of the things
in and around your home! Check the column that best describes the following:

| Our family's morning routine is | ________ | ________ | ________ | ||
| My clothes drawer is | ________ | ________ | ________ | ||
| Our living room furniture arrangement is | ________ | ________ | ________ | ||

Now what about your family? How many people live in your home? ________
Think of each person's personality, style of dress, and behavior and decide which painting each person is most like. Make a chart like the one below on the back of the sheet and put each member of the family into the category in which you think they fit best!
