Art Educational Philosophy
Art Educational Philosophy
Our curriculum is structured using an approach called “Teaching for Artistic Behavior” (TAB for short), which stresses the importance of student choice in art education. We seek to strike a balance between skill-building exercises and authentic art-making experiences. We strive to cover lots of new materials and ways of thinking about art. The exciting thing about TAB classes is that every artwork is different and belongs to the individual student. Providing open-ended work time allows students to utilize the full breadth of critical thinking and emotional engagement that art-making holds potential for.
