In a teacher directed art program, the roles of the teacher and the roles of the student can be much different than the roles in a student-directed or TAB classroom. Understanding how the differences in these roles  is fundamental to the learning and success pf your choice-based classroom.

How do TAB teachers teach? Teachers create teacher-directed project lessons because they want to teach. In an art classroom, this “teaching” consists of several categories including teaching new media and techniques, teaching art history, and teaching concepts and ideas. But how does this happen in a student-directed class? How can students be presented with new media and techniques, be introduced to artists and artworks, and gain an understanding of artist concepts if these ideas are not built into lessons? The Answer, Modular Teaching.

There was a post on a TAB Facebook group asking what people thought were the biggest TAB misconceptions. The post received over 150 comments. Obviously, this was a hot topic issue for others, but this has been a hot topic issue for me for over six years now. So, today we will take a look at a few of these misconceptions and even add a rebuttal or two.

Does choice-based teaching meet the standards and if so, how? The answer is a resounding yes! The Standards align perfectly with choice-based teaching, and in particular, they align with TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior). The best part, after listening to this podcast you’ll know exactly how to explain it.

I was asked a question. “Do you submit student art into local shows and if so, do you find it more difficult to compete with other DBAE or teacher-directed programs?” There’s a lot to unpack in that question and it all starts with authentic art.

It seems almost every day, art teachers post requests on social media groups asking for good project ideas. It not uncommon to see something similar to this. “Does anyone have a good color wheel project? I’m tired of mine”.

When we ask for a project, there is a lot we’re asking for. The project lesson plan most likely includes the inspiration, much of the design, as well as the wrap-up rubric. Depending on how involved we are in designing the phases, we could be completing up to 75% of the artistic process upfront. That’s work the students could be doing.

There are units that are not about completing projects, but instead about learning how to think and work like artists. These are units where the student is involved in designing all the phases of the artistic process. Units that teach our students to how to become better artists, and in turn, learn how to make better art.

Art teachers aspire for rich artwork from their students but are often frustrated when the results are less than spectacular. Some art teachers face this concern as they transition into a choice-based program. They may notice that their high school students’ work looks like, well, high school student work. How do we motivate students to not settle for good, but to create something great?

Did you ever have a student ask, “What grade do I get for this art?” Or worse, “If I make this art, what grade will I get?” I’m sure we can agree, making art for a grade is a lousy reason to make art, but is the opposite true? Is giving grades for making art a lousy reason to give grades?
