  • Make Artists: There Is No Finish Line

    Online teaching has programmed our students to work on a project long enough to click the "done" button. This is not how TAB works. In this episode we will understand how our students are responding to tick tock education and consider some solutions for dealing with this issue.

  • Make Artists S1 E20: How I Became a Teacher

    In this final episode of the 1st season of Make Artists I tell the story of how I went from a big city wanna be illustrator, to a small town art teacher, to a big corporation web designer, and back to an art teacher. I'll even throw in a few stories about playing hockey.

  • Make Artists S1 E19: A Vision for Art Education

    Make Artists S1E19: A Vision for Art Education

    Today’s art classrooms aren’t much different than they were 20 or even 30 years ago. Furthermore, our art classrooms aren’t set up that much differently than the regular education classrooms. In this episode, we will imagine a world of art education without course names or numbers, classes with invisible borders, that are stocked with 21st century art supplies, and offer unique and different ways of displaying artwork.

  • Make Artists S1 E18: Learning Targets Aligned with the Standards

    Meeting the Standards with Learning Targets

    When working in a student-directed art program, there are many different projects happening at any one time. One student may be painting a landscape, while another is drawing a cartoon, and still another is learning how to animate. With all these different projects, some might conclude that it is difficult for the teacher to track what the students are learning. How do we know they are meeting the standards? The answer to this question can be found in the student-directed process of preselecting a Learning Target.

  • Make Artists S1 E16: Teacher and Student Roles

    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.

  • Make Artists S1 E15: How do TAB Teachers Teach? Modular Teaching

    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.

  • Make Artists S1 E14: TAB Misconceptions

    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.

  • Make Artists: S1 E13: Does Choice-Based Teaching Meet the Standards?

    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.

  • Make Artists S1 E12: What’s So Great About Authentic Art?

    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.
