Day Two: Jackson Pollock

I. Analyze Learners: In my class, there are twenty students in my eleventh grade class

(eleven of whom are girls, and the other nine are boys). In addition, there are two students

with a learning disability. With all of the disabilities in my classroom, I will incorporate a lot of

hands on projects to go with the lectures in the class room. Allowing my students to learn by

images from Pinterest and Videos.

II. State Objectives: My eleventh grade students will be able to identify Jackson Pollock

and information about his life and how he makes his art work. They will do this by watching

youtube videos on how Jackson Pollock makes his works of art, and seeing images of

Jackson Pollock by the end of class with 95% accuracy.

III. Selecting Methods, Materials, and Media: In order to accommodate for the various

learning disabilities, I will utilize the following methods, media, and materials throughout this

lesson:

i) Images of Abstract: I will use the smart board throughout this lesson

to show images off of my own person Pinterest account, of Jackson

Pollocks abstract pieces of art.

ii) Videos of Jackson Pollock making art: In this section of the lesson,

students will see videos on how Jackson Pollock makes his art.

iii) Videos of Jackson Pollock: Students will see a trailer for a Jackson

Pollock movie, that is focusing around his life.

IV. Utilizing Methods and Materials: Prior to each class, I will check that all the art

supplies is laid out and ready to go (such as: paint brushes, paint, canvases, images,

etc), along with the smart board videos set up and loaded and ready to show. I will

also set up the students chairs and tables to where they can work in groups for the art

projects.

V. Require Learner Participation: In order to introduce this lesson, I will inform the

students of Jackson Pollock to recap from last class, just basic information, like were he

was born and his bibliography. The second day I will have videos from youtube discussing how

Jackson Pollock creates his master pieces and images of his art work from Pinterest. At

the end of the class, students will write down on a piece of paper two things they

learned, one how Jackson Pollock creates his pieces (techniques) and a interesting fact about

his life.

VI. Evaluate and Revise: In order to assess student comprehension, I will:

• Stimulate class discussion

• have a question to be answered of what they learned from class.

• Circulate around the room to check that all students are being involved in

hands on activities.

• Ask students what are some facts from the videos.
