Arts Education is an ever changing field, and more specifically there has been an enormous shift from teacher centered art classrooms to student led art classrooms where collaboration and investigation pave the way for success! In contrast to this, classroom environments have remained unchanged from an uncomfortable and immobile chair. How can we expect children to learn when they sit still in a plastic seat all day if we could not do it ourselves? It is through this project that I hope to obtain the funding for further implementing a flexible seating arrangement in my classroom. Flexible seating with stools will allow students to easily move from place to place without worry of bumping into their neighbors. It will also allow students opportunity to tuck stools in while they are creating. Stools in the art room will make the over all appearance of the space look more like a studio and not your typical classroom environment.
