We are back at school and back to creating on day one. Everyone is enthusiastic about making art and everyone is engaged in the process. That’s easy to say but it does raise some questions. What exactly does that mean? What is the process and what does engagement look like? Below, is a rubric that not only defines the process but also provides a practical look at the activities students accomplish during each phase of the process. The process of making art includes four phases that align with the National Standards. The phases include Inspiration, Design, Creation and Reflection. Learning and growth occurs as students work through the four phases of this art making process. For this reason, students are assessed weekly based on their engagement. The expectation is that students are fully engaged in the process daily, taking part in all activities. The left column identifies the phases of the process. The middle column defines the phase. The right column presents the practices the students should be accomplishing for each phase. Are You Engaged?

Here at The Art of South Brunswick High School, NC, we incorporate the Teaching for Artistic Behavior or TAB philosophy in our classroom. TAB states that the student is the artist and the art room is their studio. We believe students should be involved in the entire artistic process including designing, creating, and reflecting on their work. It is our job as teachers to present ideas and concepts, demonstrate techniques and materials, and encourage and support our students to create and produce works of art at the highest level.
