Classroom Considerations

• The artist's work is done in a hyperrealist style, and, as the name implies, is very realistic; some individuals may find the art to be strange or unsettling because of its realistic nature

Pros

• Includes plenty of supporting materials, such as a rubric, extension ideas, and vocabulary, to help enrich the plan
• Provides discussion prompts and questions that you can use or adapt

Cons

• None
