Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

In the TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behaviors) studio students are regarded as artists and direct their own experience. They come up with their own art problems and solve them, consequently engaging more deeply with their learning. TAB focuses more on process over product. Students scaffold their own learning, sometimes going deeply into specific subjects or media; resulting in developmentally appropriate and differentiated projects. When everyone is working on different things, there is less of a tendency to compare oneself to others.

Students not only feel safe to find their own ways of expressing ideas and investigating art problems but also celebrate each other’s achievements.

We talk about how artists get ideas, where they get inspiration, and what habits of mind they develop. The artistic behaviors they practice are applicable and necessary well beyond the walls of the art room.

My Project

An good choice-based art room worth it's salt has a building center. In visiting other classrooms and re-designing my own to be centers-based, I witness how crazy popular the blocks are!

Students love to build structures from their imaginations and to recreate famous examples of architecture from around the world.

This center emphasizes the E in STEAM. Facing a blank page can be daunting--each line a permanent mark. Creating something that can be easily changed and reformed is a blessing for those students who need to tread carefully until they achieve more confidence. Also, we take pictures of these temporary artworks and post the photos on our website and in the hallway displays to celebrate their successes. We need blocks at Britt!
