The Studio is READY!






Although it will not stay this clean for long, the art room has been redecorated to support TAB.  I am so excited to have students work in the space! And yes, those are DOG BUTT hooks on the wall!

Assessment, Choice, and the Learning Brain

Assessment, Choice, and the Learning Brain

Wonderful article when thinking about how to empower students!



Art Room TAB explanation




Live Blog of the art room!

There are many changes occurring in Thomson's Art Room this year! I will be shifting from a traditional elementary art room to a Teaching Artistic Behavior (TAB) or choice-based model.  There are many benefits to this style but most importantly, students will be in control and engaged in their learning.  

Along with arts advocacy and art happenings at Thomson, this site is for students to share their learning.  The art room now includes a "UP load Station" and students can choose to share important aspects of their creative process.  

Enjoy!
