Lesson Plan: Michael Kennaugh, “Twisting Skies”

This lesson plan contains the National Learning Standards for Visual Arts and the Texas TEKS for Elementary, Middle, and High School art teachers. The students will study Michael Kennaugh’s non-objective abstract collage titled Twisted Skies. Specifically, the class will discuss how Kennaugh takes a concept and plans how to represent this idea through abstracted elements. Afterwards, the students will create a non-objective abstract collage that represents a person, animal, place, or concept.
