Day One: Abstract vs. Realism

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.

II. State Objectives: My eleventh grade students will be able to identify and describe the

difference between abstract and realistic artwork. They will do this by working on hands on

crafts making different abstract pieces of work, and looking at images of abstract art and

realism art on Pinterest 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) Images of Realism: In this section of the lesson, students will see

images from my Pinterest of historical Realism art in compared to

Jackson Pollocks works.

iii) Hands on Art: Students will create works of art on canvases provided

to them, the art will tie together with the form of Jackson Pollock.

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 Pinterest 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 each form of art, Abstract referring to Jackson Pollock and Realism art

referring to historical pieces of art work. The first day I will have images from my

Pinterest account to provide visual aids to the class of Abstract art and Realism art. At

the end of the class, students will write down on a piece of paper two pieces of art work

that inspired them, one from abstract and the other from realism.

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 the differences in abstract and realism art.
