Certainly! Abstract Expressionism is a fascinating mid-20th century art movement that emerged in New York City. Here are the key points you might find useful for your presentation:

1. **Definition**: Abstract Expressionism involves artists applying paint forcefully and non-geometrically to large canvases. The goal is to express inner emotions and feelings through their work.

2. **Techniques**:
- **Action Painting**: Artists like Jackson Pollock became famous for their "drip paintings." They would drip and splatter paint onto the canvas, creating dynamic and expressive compositions.
- **Color Field Painting**: Artists like Mark Rothko used solid fields of color to evoke emotions. Their works often feature large, flat areas of color.

3. **Pioneering Artists**:
- **Jackson Pollock**: Known for his energetic and chaotic drip paintings.
- **Willem de Kooning**: His expressive brushwork and bold colors contributed to the movement.
- **Mark Rothko**: His color field paintings are iconic examples of Abstract Expressionism.

4. **Impact**: Abstract Expressionism emphasized individual expression and transformed New York into a vibrant center for art.
