I love abstract art!!!! Here are some ideas for lessons for two great abstract expressionist artists: Jackson Pollock and Jean-Paul Riopelle (a French-Canadian). In the folder you will find a Powerpoint on Pollock and a brief lesson plan for Riopelle. For my Pollock lesson, I let students experiment recreating his work with a variety of tools: marbles, toothbrushes, yarn and straws. They then have to justify their favourite work. I have them fill out the self-evaluation that can be found on the side bar of this blog. This is experiential learning at its best! The second link is website where you can create your own Jackson Pollock art - the students love this one!
