Simple yet Beautiful!by: Michael Loveday

Analyzing • For this unit plan, about abstract art (Jackson

Pollock) I will have small lectures for the students

to listen too and take notes, along with a hands

on group project and a project to do on there

own. The project will go along with Jacksons own

work.

Objective

• Students will be able to see the difference in

realism art and abstract art by viewing pictures

and definitions. Seeing many examples of both

realism and abstract, by seeing these students
